FotC Swap

I joined a Flight of the Conchords swap on craftster. It was really fun. I received some great stuff and also had a LOT of fun crafting.

I made a reusable grocery bag using queenofdiy's tute (http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177482.0).


It folds up into it's own little pocket, which is really neat.


The fabric is an old sheet I had lying around (used it to make a pillow last year) and picked it because it reminds me of the wallpaper in the show. I made my own stencil, using the picture from the DVD. Feel free to use it if you like.


My friend Amanda was over right after I made it, and couldn't resist the sexiness of Bret and Jemaine.


Who could?


I also made an Albi wallet. Random fat quarter and as a stencil I adapted some cartoon dragon I found on google. I used really stiff interfacing, which I really like. I need to make myself one now!


There's two card pockets on each side (usually I only do one).


This picture shows the cash pocket (obviously).


Also made a necklace and earrings using inkjet shrink film.


I wish I would have used a clear coat on these, it would have made them look a little nicer. But who wouldn't want these sexy faces next to their own all day??


I also made a ton of buttons. They're made using my 1 1/4 inch Badge-a-Minit.


I also just got a free 2 1/4 inch Badge-a-Matic! It belonged to the elementaryschool my mom works at but they didn't want it because it was jammed. She took a couple minutes when she got home and was able to fix it. I'd been wanting a larger button maker as well since I get bored with all the same size, so getting a free one was awesome!

I'm doing the new FOTC swap on craftster, and I'm downloading your stencil just in case!! I also need to do something Albi... but don't worry, I won't steal ALL your ideas, although I do LOVE the reusable grocery bag (that folds up into a little packet! genius!).

Have fun with the swap, and you're welcome to use any ideas of mine. Glad to hear you might get some use out of the stencil!
