I decided to send a care package of goodies to my college freshman and her room mate, who happen to have birthdays just a few days apart. I used Randi's tutorial to make fun zipper pouches.
The thought of properly installing a zipper has always given me a case of the vapors. But when I saw Randi's tutorial, it gave me hope that even I could accomplish this.
And as it turned out, I was turned on to zippers! Once I started, I was hooked. These little pouches are sincerely addictive.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that they make such great stash busters.
I even decided to "go green" and use color coordinating zips. Fancy stuff.
I filled them with fun trinkets, including these bird nest pendants that I made.
There are great tutorials on you tube to learn how to make them.
Such a fun little treat to sneak in the mail, and the girls loved receiving them!
Thanks, Randi. Mission successful!
