Tote Bag Pillow
Today’s blog is short and sweet. My daughter gave me a beautiful tote bag for Christmas but it is white! I didn’t what to use it and have it get dirty but I didn’t want to just have it hanging on the door. So I came up with a plan.
I made a tote bag pillow! Quick and simple project, I stuffed the tote bag with filler then pushed the straps inside the bag. I had planned to add velcro to close it but then I had another idea. I looked through my mom’s old jewelry and found the perfect pins to use to close the opening of the bag to make it a pillow. It’s a perfect way to display this beautiful tote bag and unless I tell people, they probably would have no idea it’s actually a tote bag embellished with my mom’s pins.
Have you come up with a way to make something out of something that it isn’t?
So you probably wondered why I posted Wordless Wednesday yesterday, on a Tuesday. I had brain fade and thought yesterday was today! So since this is just one simple photo, it could technically be Wordless Wednesday with lots of words! LOL I’ll try to stay on track for next Wednesday!
I actually made a tote bag pillow with a travel Souvenir gift bag last May and its a perfect way to display the artwork.But your beautiful pins really made this pillow pop.
That’s a super way to display a special bag Amrite, I love coming up with ideas like this.
Cool idea, Martha. You transformed a tote bag into a nice-looking pillow. I like it. It shows how creative you are!!
Thanks Danwil, I love coming up with “out of the box” ideas. This tote bag was so pretty I wanted it displayed where I and others could enjoy it!
Love your originality and craftiness!
Thanks Patricia, I not only have a pretty pillow but can display some of my mom’s pins.
