DECEMBER SPECIAL: Mini Loom Gift Bags

 

 



I HAVE THREE MORE GIFT BAGS TO BE POSTED TUESDAY, DEC 8

for those who might like to try their hand at making their own

MINI LOOM BAG. . .

 

The ELVES (me and Boo) were busy over the cold and rainy weekend. . .making more MINI LOOM GIFT SETS. . .and a few 2N1 GIFT SETS, too. . .The larger sets are not quite finished. . .and not all of the minis either. . .but I couldn't wait to put A FEW online for you. . .They are so much fun to make. . .but can be time-consuming. . .getting each little detail right.

 

The DECEMBER SPECIAL? . .SANTA (John) decided to keep our MINI LOOM GIFT SETS as low in cost as possible through the HOLIDAYS. . .After this month, though, the price will be raised on selected gift bags and possibly USPS shipping will rise also. . .So now's the time to order while we have a good selection!

 

 

John is such a task master! I thought I was done with MINI LOOM GIFT SETS for the year. . ."What about Christmas?" he asked. . ."People will want GIFT SETS. We can't let them down. You know how everyone LOVES them". . .I'm a sucker for compliments. . .so, I uncovered the sewing machines. . .pulled out the stacks of jeans. . .and this little ELF went to work. . .

Truthfully, I enjoy creating the MINI BAGS. . .No two are alike. . .It's often a surprise to me how each one turns out. . .All bags are constructed of reclaimed fabrics and trims from JEANS, SHIRTS, OVERALLS, SKIRTS, DRESSES. . .frayed and maybe a few flaws. . .they are PRIM FARMHOUSE STYLE all the way. . .Of course, the weaving strips are also recycled with similar FABRICS as the bag. . .Part of the charm of RAG RUG WEAVING is using what you have. . .Waste Not, Want Not. . .

There are so many uses for the MINI LOOM SETS. . .As GIFTS obviously. . .To tuck in the car for TRAVEL. . .As an inexpensive LEARNING TOOL for kids and adults. . .Just to name a few. . .All you'll need to add is a pair of scissors. . .
