For those of us whose pocketbooks can't handle buying holiday gifts at Anthropologie ... why not MAKE your pocketbook out of Anthropologie? (Magazines, that is.)
I've been having fun with beautiful magazines and my Xyron 900, sewing up a set of these recycled wallets for stocking stuffers. Honestly, it's more difficult photographing these darn wallets than actually making them! Laminated items don't do well in any light as far as a camera is concerned. Trust me - the finished product is much more charming than these photographs show.
The wallet has a change pocket, a place for credit cards and license, and a spot for bills.
Edit: Comments are closed - the winner has already been selected!
And I'm giving one away! I couldn't resist giving a little something back after all of your kind words about my book deals and baby. Leave a comment and I'll mail you the Anthropologie embroidered pillow wallet! (Sorry, the purple shoe/cat wallet has already found its way into my purse somehow ...) Comments will remain open until Sunday evening, 9 p.m. Eastern. I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner, who will be announced right here on Monday morning.
Also on Monday, I'll put up an easy tutorial for making your own recycled magazine wallet, so that everyone can "win!"
Edit: Here's the PDF tutorial so you can make your own! Be sure to print it off at 100% scale. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Meg
