Other people's crafts.


I love to post pictures of the things I make in flickr group pools. But, have you ever saved a picture of something that someone else had made either for inspiration or to create something like it later? Well I was searching through this http://www.flickr.com/groups/pouches/pool/"> Pouches Pool and saw something that I thought would look cute to make for my sister's birthday (turning 9). I leaped for yays when I saw that when this person wrote "check my profile for more info" that is usually secret code for I am selling this item so come look and buy it! :D But I went there and unfortunatly I don't have 12 dollars to spend nor do I have time to wait for shipping.. So... I got out that extra felt I had laying around and got to it. About 2 hours later, Tada presto.. I have a cute little match. I did put a snap on the back like the one being sold, but I am going to change it to a button that closes into that bungie elastic loop type thing. Simply because I don't think that the snap will hold up with a 9 year old, meh it wouldn't even last with me... I don't think the type of snap I used is good for this felt fabric, it would rip right through if I tried to tug it open and I don't like using my fingernails to open snaps... soo gross it gives me the hibbie gibbies. At any rate... Thank you rockpaperscissors for the inspiration and If anyone seeing this would like to buy your own, here is the link to the Etsy shop that made the original.




Hmmm, I've gotta relearn some basic html, I haven't done it in over 3 years... >.>
