Spotlight Bucket- A random craft project

I work with the Young Women in my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and 2 times a month we spotlight a different girl.  The Spotlight Bucket holds many different treasures and when a girl is spotlighted she gets to take the bucket home for the week.  She can pick one item out of the bucket to keep and replace the item she takes with something else that she has.  That way the bucket's contents are always changing.  The girls seem to like it so far!

Materials used:
plastic ice cream bucket
scraps of fabric
ribbon
gems
fake gerber daisy
decoupage
hot glue gun

I basically used my imagination and went to work.  It was a simple yet very fun project!!

Newport with Zipper

I have a good friend who requested a Newport style bag with a zipper.  Up until this point I had never done this so it was quite fun brainstorming how to make it work.  Here are the results!
