It is Flea Market time !!!
I love big flea market totes
but having your money
at quick and easy access is a
really good thing :)
This is a tutorial
on making a little bag for just that ~
The first step is to buy a tote which
can be found at most craft stores ~
Then, I am a ruffle kind of gal
so I used my ruffler that
I just love ~ I got mine here ~
This is my sweet sister's shop :)
It is easiest for me just to ruffle
a bunch at a time making it
any width you like ~
Then I used the Citra Solv transfer method
to transfer my image on to the tote ~
You have to use a printer that uses toner
to print out the image or it won't transfer ~
Then I cut my ruffle to the size
I wanted and you can either
sew or glue it on ~
I love to use Fabri Fix because it dries fast
and is washable ~
You can add any embellishments
you would like ~ I added a
little rolled rose that I glued on
and an old key tied to the top ~
That is all !!
Have fun flea marketing !!
If you don't want to make your own,
I will have them for
sale on my website here ~
Added later today :)
This is just another example
of one without the
transfer but more ruffles ~
You can get the little charms here ~
