Easy Scripture Bag

These little bags are super easy to make, using place-mats and ribbon. 

I attached the handles first, then folded the placemat in the middle, right sides together, and sewed the sides.  Bend the corners back to create a wide bottom, and sew a seam across the "triangle" you created. Turn right side out, add a pretty pin or flower, and voila! A darling little tote or scripture bag.

We give these to our Young Women on their birthday or when they become Beehives.

Bunco Prize Purse!

I've joined a group of friends to play Bunco once a month. It's just a fun dice game, but everyone brings a prize, so everyone goes home with a prize. The cost has to be less than $5.

This month's theme is Handcrafted Items. Since I really liked the Tinkerbell Purse, I decided to make another one from the same pattern. It is made entirely out of fabric I already had, with a fancy brooch pinned on from a bag of old costume jewelry I had on hand.

I hope someone really loves this purse and claims it for their prize.

Kristel said she loves the Tinkerbell Purse. Her sister even tried to buy it from her!
