"Skittles- SU Top Note Bag

Okay...this is another version of the Top Note Purse that I just made.....I call it a "Skittles" bag.

I think I have gone "Top Note" crazy.....(hehe..)........As I was making the purse....I looked on one of my workstations and saw the skittles I colored with Alcohol ink last week to send to one of my MB buddies. She was out of them and needed a few more to carry her thru. These are "mini" skittles. I figured I'd color enough for her to last for a little while depending on how much she used them......and still give her a variety of color........My problem was what to send them in..........A few weeks ago I sent some for a swap and placed them in another small plastic baggie......But this time........because they were a gift ...I wanted them in a cute package. Mystery solved........ I think this is tooo cute. (hehe...) And you know.....I just had a thought......(hehe...) I can make a lot of these and have them ready to put in "swap" packages.....b-day gifts,etc.....I am sure someone else have done this....but I have not seen it.......Now I have seen these purses with note cards, business cards etc....but not with skittles.....So Yeah...... I decided to use mine for "skittles". I think this is a great idea.........So.....What do you think??????.....TFL.....


And all of the "mini" skittles fit securely in the purse.......

SU- Gift Certificate Purses

I made these purses last week using the Top Note Die from SU...and boy am I glad I did not post them then. I took a picture of them and looked at the picture later......I had to laugh (hehe...)....my dimensions were off "quite" a bit......What was I thinking?????

But anywho....I looked at a few Youtube videos. I cannot give credit to "one" specific persons video because there are so many out there and I saw so many variations on this "lil purse"( it is cute huh?????...Loving that Top Note......).....And, I also watched quite a few videos to get the correct dimensions.

These are great for a simple gift certificate as a present when you cannot decide what to buy.......Can you say "Xmas gifts for the ladies"???? They can also be used to hold business cards and are great giveaways if doing a crop, teaching a class or even at a convention or swarm. I had fun doing these and finally after doing them correctly, found that they are rather easy to make. Okay...I'm off to try another variation of this Top Note technique making a different style purse.....Hopefully, I 'll get it right the first time......(hehe)......TFL
