When we were on the cruise, one of our crafters, Julie, broke out with a gallon-sized Ziplock bag of mini Mexican basket rings. She bought them at Goodwill and didn't know what to do with them She offered them to the group and none of us knew what to do with them either.



On the last day, I took one and slipped it on my finger as a ring. Next I added yarn. "Put crystals on!" someone chimed...so I did. And I ended up up with a super fly-looking finger flasher.

Ann followed my lead and made a basket ring too. She used holographic sequined trim for hers (que fancy!). It just goes to show that we were drunk on crafting. You know when you finish your drink and sip the straw once more, hoping to eek out that last little bit of fun? Well, it was like that for us, except with craft supplies. We had finished our projects, so we scoured the room and made stuff out of the leftovers.

Here are our finished rings!



And here are Ann's pictures from the cruise!
