craftgrrl | Crafts from back in the day

Hey everyone! I've watched this community FOREVER but never really posted so today I decided to stop being so stalker-y and put something up :)
Anyway, a week or so ago I was looking through my material to see what I could make a laptop bag out of when I came upon a messenger bag I made but never quite finished in high school..
Then, in the spirit of looking back at my old crafts, I've posted a couple other little ones I did years ago..

Perfect fit! Made out of old pair of pants and two different star patterned pillow cases. Front pocket is perfect size for discs and power cord also :)

fits in perfectly snuggly and awesome...YOU GO, 17 YR OLD ME!

Most of my best crafts (or at least, finished, bc I am more motivated knowing they need to be finished) end up as gifts so I don't always remember to take pics before I never see them again but here's a really cute gift I made for my best friend for her birthday. I painted the frame black, made and collaged a mat with various pictures of our shananigans in black and white, and used all of this to frame one of the pictures of us printed in a local magazine. She loved it and so did I :) sry the pic is kind of crappy...

I wish I had a better pic of this but anywho this is a mobile I made out of a dreamcatcher gone wrong, and a bunch of postcard sized Dali prints I got at the museum... hope you can get the idea from this pic bc I don't have a better one right now (it would be the thing hanging from the ceiling)...

And this is a random little gift I gave my boyfriend. Kind of sexy...collaged little hat box filled with condoms, rose petals, and other little sexy things including a picture on the bottom...., topped with a wrapped copy of the new cd he wanted :) The condoms also have little exp dates on them. Not actual exp dates of course, but it's along the idea of sex coupons...Even without the cd he loved it haha
