Bargains...bargains...and bags!

Hi all!

A couple more ideas for you today...Firstly...carrying on my butterfly bonanza from last week...I've used more of the chipboard accents to make this cute butterfly hanger for my friend's scraproom!
The shapes were covered with pp's from the 12x12 Lucky Dip, and embellished with wire wings, star shaped brads, acrylic paint dots and some glass chips I had from a fish tank!! Its all tied together with ribbon from the satin Lucky Dip! Altogether a bit of bargain from start to finish, eh? lol

My second offering today is a bag which I've embellished. I bought the bag for £2 from a local shop and thought I'd jazz it up a bit with all the sale goodies!


I've adhered ribbon from the satin Lucky Dip in 3 colours along the bottom edge, then I attached 3 of the dark Yo-Yo's with a button and some embroidery cotton and made very long stitches to make the stems. There is a super bargain bag of buttons available here if you don't have any! Then I tied some more of the satin ribbon into 3 bows and a knot...and simply glued them on! Et voila...I have a funky new cropping bag!!

I hope you like what I've done...do leave me a comment and let me know what you think...especially if you think you might a go yourself!! And keep your eyes peeled on the webshop...there is new stuff going into the sale all the time :)

Bye for now x
