Normally, I find that sewing tutorials online can be rather confusing, but the step-by-step instructions for this cute reversible bag make it really clear what you have to do at each stage . . . so I wanted to feature it here on my blog in case other people get as confused as I do trying to follow sewing instructions! 🙂

The bag is a small size (for kids) but you could always size it up for adults without much difficulty.

These colourful and eye-catching patterns are created from layers of paper and can be cut with either scissors or a craft knife. You can then frame them individually, or string lots together to make a garland!

This beautiful hair accessory is made by folding satin ribbon into individual petal shapes and then using a lighter and/or glue to fix them in place.

Don’t be daunted because it looks intricate; most of the parts are the same petal shape repeated, so it’s actually quite simple!
