A few things I have made lately

I found a really easy tutorial on how to make a makeup bag from the Three bears blog. It was quite easy, the only thing that I will change on my next bag is to make it bigger and also I am going to try to line the bag.











I found this fun idea in a magazine that I have. Basically you cut a bunch of strips of yarn, I cut mine about a 12"-18" long. Place the strips of yarn in a small bowl with Elmer's glue in it. Make sure that the yarn is completely coated with glue, I used 1 1/2 tubes of glue to make this one. You have to get your hand in it and sort of stir the yarn around so that the yarn gets coated good with glue. Find a bowl that you already have that has a good shape and cover it with cellophane. Turn the bowl over so the bottom is face up. Then all you have to do is start wrapping the yarn around the bowl. Let it dry for a couple days and your done. I used two different colors on mine but you can get as creative as you want.
