Last week I received a package in the mail. It was sent to me by a reader of my blog as a "thank you" for the free tutorials I had published on my blog over the last few years. It warmed my heart, and I appreciated her thoughtfulness so much. {Thank you again, Chris!}
Among several things in the box was this adorable Snap Happy Bag that she made for me. I fell in love instantly...
This little bag has a carpenter's metal tape measure cut to the correct lengths to form a "hinge" at the top of the bag. It "snaps" open and shut -- thus the name "Snap Happy Bag." It's the perfect size to put in a purse with a couple of makeup items or to hold a gift card.
I knew I wanted to make a version of my own and publish a tutorial, so yesterday I got to work and came up with this version...
Early next week I'll publish the tutorial. With Valentine's Day approaching I can foresee making these and filling them with all sort of goodies!
