thank you for the idea Pam. I have never thought about that and I have an old handbag that would be perfect for this. It is bright pink! Thank you for the nice complement but the work is easy with the Big Shot and just plain fun

I really want to try the copper metal. I have it on my list! Thank you for the nice words.

Sometimes a good quality bag is quite cheap, because of a scratch or stain on one part. Chatting up the staff/volunteers can get you materials which they would otherwise discard as too damaged to sell. I don’t think my handwork is as good as yours….. 🙂

The Big Shot and the Sissix die cutters will also cut through thin copper metal sheet too.

Thank you Rena. I have made some faux leather flowers and made a broach. The leather is expensive as I said previously, but really is pretty.

You can create endless jewelry elements with these techniques, Linda!
