Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Wednesday, August 18, 2004Newspaper purses
Hi Crafty Chica, I am Jazzmine and I love your site, I must say. Since you are the one that knows all regarding crafts,...I had to come to you. I was in this store and found purses made from newspaper articles. Thing is,..they were all in some kind of asian script. I wanted something a bit more,...ME. So I decided to turn to you. How are these people making this stuff? Since then,...I have seen similar bags sell on ebay and personal websites. I have seen them done with newspaper, lp covers and photos. Please,...tell me how this is done. Please? =)
I am begging,... -- JAZZMINE PHOENIXX / DANITA Hi Jazzmine! I know exactly what you are talking about, I've made them before. The trick is to laminate the paper and then use grommets to make the holes to thread the cording and handles. I've seen people use the clear shelf liners, but they aren't very sturdy. I would go for the lamination - you can get it done at your local copier center. If you are using thin paper, you can sandwich it around a piece of cardboard or cardstock for a sturdier bag. In the meantime, check out Diana's tricked out site Not Without My Handbag.

About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
