Talking in promptu c&s-- behold the magic wallet!




so we're going to a little boy's birthday party tomorrow, he's turning 6. i was at a loss for what to make him. they're completely plastic free except for legos. i thought bendies, but i really didn't want to get into thinking what kind of bendy he'd be into. so i thought a pouch or wallet. and then i thought it'd be cool to make a magic wallet. let me tell ya, it was not easy to figure out exactly how sew the straps!! but i worked it out in the end. and here it is, a whole 2 hours later. it is sloppy, but heck, it was my first try! i hope he likes it.

a craftalong!? ay ay ay. the thing is you kinda have to actually make one to take photos for a craftalong, yes? i will make one just as soon as i have time! i have so much to do. but i promise i will. it's pretty simple, really.

thanks for all the compliments. the birthday boy did like it, after we explained what it was.
