Default Bags into Tops & Bottoms into Bags


I hadn't used this graphic Old Navy tote bag since high school, so I took it out one day, stared at it for a while and decided to make a halter top out of it. I had to cut sides from another shirt since it was too narrow and added a lace trim for more length. My parents said I was weird making a top out of a bag, but I ignored them b'cuz the results are not bad. Though, now I look at it sometimes it is a bit weird -.-'

I wanted a new shoulder bag a couple weeks ago, so I finally dug out pajama bottom my grandma bought me, but never wore b'cuz it could fit three of me inside, and made an Alice in Wonderland themed bag. Took me half a day to do but it's worth it, since it turned out pretty nice.

On the right is an apple charm I made some days ago. Apples aren't round, I know~ but who says it can't be, so I used a shiny red marble to be the fruit. The leaf was from an old keychain, and the chain was actually a bracelet which I like how it looks now more.
On the right, is a pin I made yesterday b'cuz I was bored. The bow was originally for the apple charm but I changed my mind about it and made something else with it.

NO way. You made those? Wow they look like they were made by pros. You can make a fortune out of this stuff. I would never have the talent or the creativity for this.
