Wow......that is very heartbreaking.
You're Not AloneI did something like that once. I wanted to make a guitar pick necklace and I couldn't figure out how to poke a hole in it. So I said to myself, "Oh! I could heat up the needle and poke it!" BAD IDEA. Thankfully I was home alone. So I took a jean needle, put it on a Tupperware plate (thank God for Tupperware!), and put it in the microwave for about 30 minutes. Then I saw a spark and the microwave started to make weird noises. I turned the microwave off and hid behind the door, carefully opening it. The needle almost melted into the plate and the plate had a burn mark. So I took a butter knife and started to shave off the burnt marks. A few days later, my mom put the Betty Crocker frosting in the microwave with a little bit of aluminum still on it and it started to make weird noises and sparked. So I freaked out and told her. I didn't get in trouble and I now know not to put metal in the microwave.

Wow! That's really cool. Now I have to figure out how to do iron-ons.

You are truely an artist. My mom would get upset if I did that so, you got one over me. Those shoes are SO beautiful.

That's awesome!!!! I love the Hello Kitty strap. I wonder what my mom will say about me wanting to make a purse like this? She's thinks all this stuff on craftster is cool but weird. She now has an excuse to put me in a loony bin. My mom will never understand the importance of recon. *Sigh* Poor mother. Okay my random-ness is over.

Your purse is AWESOME!!!! Especially what it says.

I had the Mission Impossible theme in my head when I read your post. Great Job!!!

Great job on all of your creations!!! Now I have to start saving fortunes. As much as my family goes to Chinese resturants, I'll finish a purse like yours in about 20 years.

I recommend buying a cheap, boring purse and gluing them to it, so you can't see the boring purse anymore.

I agree 100%. You should put the pom-poms on by cutting off a little bit of the stick thingy (I hope you know what I mean) and leaving about an inch or two left and sewing it on. If that doesn't work, don't blame me....Kidding. If it does work, post pictures of the finished product.

My mom thinks I'm crazy for doing all this recon stuff. But now with this idea, she's gonna put me in the loony bin. GREAT JOB!!!!!

I am trying to make my first duct tape messanger bag and I need some help. If someone could be so kind and please post a really easy to understand tutorial, you would make my day.
