I bought this handbag at the thrift store a while back. I loved the color. The shape of the bag wasn't my style, but I knew I could do something else with it. These are my creations. Other than the bag the only supplies I needed were a few beads, a needle and thread. My favorite thing about repurposing things is that most of the hard work is done for you. I was able to use parts that were already finished at the edges making my job easier. Now I just have to decide which one to keep and which to give away. Here is how I made them: For the Flowery Bracelet: I started by making a leather band for the base. I folded in the sides of the strip of vinyl, tucked under the edge and sewed it up the middle. I didn't use pins or an iron I just held it in place as I sewed. Then I sewed seams up the sides to flatten it out. To make the flowers I cut five petal shapes. With the right sides together I sewed around the curve. Then I flipped them right side out. I hand sewed the petals together. Sewing long stitches and then pulling them tight created the gathering at the center. After pulling it tight I sewed the two ends together to make the flower. I sewed it into place on the band and used a wood bead for the center. To make the rosettes I just rolled up a small strip of vinyl and sewed it together. I sewed it up by running a my needle back and forth through the middle and bottom. Once I had all my flowers in place I added more beads to fill in gaps. I tucked the ends under and stitched them up. I used a Dritz snap set for my fastener. For the ruffled bracelet: I started with a strip of vinyl. I folded in the sides, and sewed two long stitched seams down the center. Then I pulled on the bottom (bobbin) threads. This creates the gathers. I gathered the band until it was the length of my wrist. I cut out the the binding on the purse. I then sewed it down the middle covering up the unfinished edges from the gather. I finished the ends by sewing little strips of the vinyl on. I attached this box clasp from an old necklace by sewing it into place. For the braided bracelet: I used the remaining three bindings from the purse to make this piece. I lined them up and sewed the tops together. I braided them and sewed the other end together. Then I used this piece... to finish off the ends. The last step was sewing on a toggle clasp. Here is a list of parties I link to.

Bitmemişler kutusundan bir tane daha çıktı. Bu da sarmaşık seriden. Bu yaprağın iki tane daha benzerini yaptım. Onların dizaynı daha farklı olacak. BİTMEMİŞLER KUTUSUNDAN 1' deki desen blokundan artanların (yani artanların artanları :D ) son parçaları ile yaptım. Polimer kilin bu yönüne bayılıyorum. Kırıntısı ziyan olmuyor.
