D E S T R U C T I O N
amazing
i LOVE your idea.. very cute : )
Did you see the end where the fabric was nicely folded inward? That’s the use of sewing them back together. So the inside will stay tucked inward. A normal fold wouldn’t do that unless you ironed it.
aw thats really cute:]
What a fabulous idea…. (But I died a little when you covered the terrific illustrations inside with fabric)… No way around it I guess.
Genius! The perfect xmas present for a mom ^^
Great project! I don’t get the added benefit of first cutting the triangle in halve, and then sewing it back together.
its a book i enjoyed watching it get cut up into a purse. it is now something that has a use in life :D
did u figure this out on ur own???????????
nice way to pick up the ladies! :)
it;s a cute project!
Very cool! I would use it if someone gave it to me… hehe.
I love it.. too cool.. I’m gonna make a few. Thanks
Well, this way it gets put to use instead of just sitting around (like most of my books do) =P
that was tooooo cute!! I”m so gonnah try that out :))
great! i LOVED the way it looked in the end, it’s so cute!
this is awesome.
oh my goodness. i couldn’t watch when you cut it up. that was a really pretty bag though. were you using tacky glue? is it strong enough to hold everything together? i want to try but i don’t want it to fall apart the day i finish it.
well, i was a really nice video and all…
but the BOOK :O
he KILLED it… :(
Wow great video, btw have you watch the movie Avatar, 2012 yet? I just watched on POP8. INFO
Also… you can get cool and cheap handles at thrift stores by buying old purses and cutting them off. The premade ones at craft stores cost about $7 - $10, but I can usually get thrift store purses for less than $3
dood, you covered up the fantastic illustrations!
