::Monday:: Something Borrowed - Ruffle Totes

For anyone who knows me even mildly well, you must know that I am addicted to Pinterest. The worst part is, I'm not one of those people who just pins and looks at it and says "that would be nice" and daydreams about what I pinned. I am chronically incapable of not cooking or crafting the things that I pin on Pinterest. Without fail that is where my allowance goes EVERY month.

So back in December I found this great ruffle tote tutorial by Ucreate here. Of course I could not pass up making something that darling and that easy. So I made one for my sister and one for my sister-in-law for their teaching jobs. Being the space cadet that I am, I forgot to take pictures of them before I gifted them, but Shauna was amazing and recently sent me a picture of hers so I could blog about it. {Thanks Shauna!}

So here is my final product


The hardest part was definitely sewing the strips in ruffles, but after one failed attempt I was able to conquer the technique pretty well. They were super cheap to make and tres cute in the end. If you have an extra half an hour, you should totally spend it making one of these.
