crafty-ness.

First post ever.. yadda yadda..

Here are some pictures of crap I mean, stuff I made for the craft show a couple weeks ago.
The magnets sold pretty well and the bags sold pretty not at all.
Stupid old people audience.
I think I would have done better if the craft show was for 20-somethings and teenagers.
Or maybe that's just an excuse.

Anyhow! Here're (can those two words be conjuntion'd?) the book purses and clutches I made:


These were a bitch to make. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.




Display o'marble magnets. All in pretty painted Altoid tins. (Note the price said $7 but yeah right. I had to reduce it to $5. Pfft.)


Top of the tin. I made my mom and dad help me spray paint them and glue little foam things on the top.


My bags! Obviously.
All out of material I bought from stinky Wal-Mart. The pink one right above the black and white checkered one was made out of 2 $0.98 bandanas.


Pink bag with felt whale. I think he's cute. Plus! the straps are made out of plastic flower-y dress-up necklaces.


Dinosaur. And these straps are also made out of a dress-up necklace, except it's purple hearts instead of pink flowers.


I used this one for awhile.. it's one of my favorites.
Burgundy cords material with pink checkered inside. I guess it's called a messenger bag since it has the flappy thing. And a funky little bow on the front.




Made out of a pair of Kyle's old cords. I think he shed a tear when I cut them up. Oh! the high school memories. Also, it has a star-thing on the front just because it was too much vast spaces of tan for my liking.


My dad made (and sold ALL of) these candles and birdhouses. See? OLD PEOPLE.


Just all of the display.
Exciting, no?


Yep. That's it.

Basically I have ALL the bags left except for the pink book purse, the checkered bag and the jean/blue fabric bag (pictured underneath the green stripe-y bag...).
Sigh.

All of it is in a box at home.
CRY.
