shoe bags. Sand does have a way of creeping into every little crevice. I didn't want to just put shoes in the suitcases. This is much better.
I went with pink zippers this time. The shoe bags join these other two pouches from last week.
I'm feeling so very coordinated and ready for another trip! Brian does not share my enthusiasm about another trip, however.
Who else thinks a set of these would make a great gift?? Okay, maybe I'll tone down the bright factor for gifting. These practically require sunglasses.
I tried to do fancy zipper pulls. I had these beads that I though would look so nice with the pink zippers and tropical flowers.
See, would have been nice, huh?
Unfortunately I know so little about beading. The cording I bought would not fit all the way through the bead. I stuck a large pin down through only to find that the bead was not evenly drilled through. It got thinner and off kilter at the center. I'm sure that really fine wire would have worked. I have no idea, though, as to how all those beading supplies work. I ended up with five different kinds of beading supplies--none of which work together to create a pull. Until I figure this all out, a simple cord will do!
I still don't quite have the zipper ends looking as they should, but each bag is getting better and easier. Practice makes perfect, right? By the time I finish a set for my daughter, I should have this all worked out...or not.
