I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for Jeb for our anniversary this year. I kept thinking. "I wish he was just a girl then I would just send flowers to his work." So instead I made him a bouquet of candy flowers, got a helium "Happy Anniversary" balloon and Zak and I headed off to his work to
I also have been wanting to make a holder/display for my jewellery for a long time. I got a bunch of free frames off Kijiji, so I decided to make this! I love it! All the frames are backed with lace. I plan on having them against a more colorful wall eventually, and I think the wall will look really good showing through the lace.
And last but not least I made a temple bag. I hated that my dress would CONSTANTLY get wrinkled. (I only used like a gym bag before) So this was my solution! I can hang it up when I am home, and it nicely folds into a bag for transport! :)
It folds into a bag/tote thing, but has a hanger where you can hang it up! No wrinkles!
A divided pocket at the bottom to store your stuff in
This one I made to give away, same thing just different style/fabric. I loved how they turned out!
You're so talented! I need to make a temple bag like that. I hate having a wrinkly dress all the time!
ReplyDeleteOh you need to give me a patten or a tutorial on how to make that bag! It looks awesome, I also hate the wrinkly dress situation! And what did you use in those frames to hang the jewelry on? I really love how it looks. Great idea. You are so crafty just like your momma. We should get together and craft one day! Love you ideas.
ReplyDeleteI will for sure send you the pattern! We definitely need to craft together, that would be so much fun! As for hanging the jewellery, I used the smallest eyelet hook I could find at Home Depot and just opened them up with two pliers (they didn't have small enough hooks for my liking) And then for the earrings I just used the lace to hang them.
DeleteYou are so talented Rachel! Love it all! Way to surprise Jeb! That was probably a bigger THRILL than the candy bouquet! TEE HEE!!! I need a temple bag too. GOOD WORK!
ReplyDeleteI have so many necklaces, great idea! Plus did you have the pattern for the temple bag already? If not, where did you find one? They look great! :D
ReplyDeleteI used this tutorial for the bag, took me a while to find, but I knew what I was looking for and hoped that someone had made something like it!

I changed some things like made it a little longer, and made the zipper go all the way to the top, and only did one pocket not the front one.
I love your temple bag! I keep thinking I need one like this! You probably don't have time to help me make one before you leave, but if you do, let me know! :)
