Right now you could say that I have too much time on my hands. Yes, yes I do, but this is a great idea! What do you get when you combine an old black plastic video cover, a scrap of fabric and duct tape? A great little purse! When I first came up with this idea I was looking for a book to transform into a purse but I didn't want to ruin any of the books that I own. Luckily right next to one of my bookshelves is a crate filled with VCR tapes. It struck me that the cassette holder could work. I grabbed two that had the hard plastic cases and started to experiment. I had a few ideas for how to make the handle with parts of old purses and then I spied the duct tape sitting on the floor. This could work! The first extremely difficult task was to remove the photo/info card and used it as a template for the fabric. Yes, that was sarcasm. I used a pinking sheers for the fabric since I didn't feel like doing any sewing....
I accomplished a years worth of creativity on a budget. Now this blog is just for all of my creative outlets. My creativity involves a lot of craft projects, artwork and a few odds and ends.
