making junk awesome.

These are the first couple of bags I finished for the etsylabs Trashion trunk show. The first was made from an old shopping bag and the second one from a 1950s map. The ribbon was repurposed - I NEVER throw away ribbon when I receive a gift and these scraps are working out perfectly! The bags will be used for swag bags for a handful of lucky early birds at the Trunk show on July 27 at the etsylabs in Brooklyn. Several trashion street team members will be making swag bags (and lots more will be filling them!) so no two bags will be alike! Do you dig?

For details on the trunk show check out the banner at the top of my blog. And if you are interested in getting involved with the trashion street team on etsy they are always welcoming new members!
