Green Shopping Bag

I have to admit. I got a bit carried away last month when Glamour came out with the free Benefit pencils. I got all 3. Which was great, 3 full size benefit pencils for under €3 each. However I was left with 3 Glamour magazines. I wanted to come up with a fun way to use the magazines and I started to think about collages. I came up with this:


This is for one of my cousins. I have a little packet to send her and I thought I would make her something cute and fun. I used some leftover fabric and made a reusable shopping bag. I made a collage out of images from the Glamour magazines in the shape of her initials. I then attached the collages separately using plastic sheet protectors over them and sewing the plastic on over the letters. I think it turned out pretty cute. Looking at it now though I'm tempted again to make a large yellow flower and attach it near the top right corner...the bag is almost missing something. 

I would like to point out however that in the first picture, yes it does look like I could fit into the bag. In reality that's not the case (DAD) :). Its about 50 cm long to put it into perspective. I wanted there to actually be room for shopping.
