The second I saw this fabulous idea I knew it would make a GREAT team gift for my girls this year. A sewer I am not but (with a little help from mom) 🙂 These bags were very simple to make… A Big thanks to Demonstrator Angie Juda who shared this ideas on her blog and even created a video tutorial, which you can find here.

The squares for these bags are cut out using the Scallop Square BigZ die – giving you perfect squares and a fun edge quickly and easily.

I think this black and white purse is one of my favorites! 🙂

Who am I kidding I LOVE them all. Is it wrong that I wanted to keep every bag for myself instead of giving them as gifts?? 🙂 I really don't need that many purses…

The handles for this bag were a little more challenging – but my brother came to my rescue and made them for me. I think if I make more I will try using Stampin' Up! Ribbon instead. The wide striped ribbon would make a great handle!

Here's a little more eye candy for you – each of the bags hanging so you can see the handles – which add a fun contrast to the bags!
