@Friends' - Sparkly sandal ornaments find a new home

Twinkle twinkle little freestyle stars

One night last week I got a text message from a crafty friend with a photo of her latest upcycle project, a new purse made from pieces of clothing that were no longer serviceable in their original form.  Who doesn't appreciate a freestyle that happens entirely within your apartment?  Almost as good as going shopping in your closet. I couldn't resist asking to feature her freestyle/upcycle project on the blog.


Ready for a day of holding those odds and ends.
 This crafty purse project was carried out using fabric from old jeans and ornaments salvaged from sandals that had seen better days.  You can see the final product in action in the photo below. Note the cool braided strap.


Looking good while out and about

One final sparkly detail
 Happy freestyling, and don't forget to donate clothing rather than discarding it! Even scraps can be shredded and sold by charities, keep those textiles out of the trash..
