This was my entry, the Flashlight Purse.


I made this before the contest, and wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with it. I decided to list it for the contest, and so far it has generated over 850 views! The story behind the purse can be found at my etsy.
There was a lot of unique and cool entries for this contest. I thought some of them deserved some recognition. These are my top picks, in no particular order:
- Map Checkbook Cover, by WanderlustDesigns

-Lucky Green Lawn Bag, by Rosewebs

-Necklace and Earrings Set, by tomatedepingles

-Reeses Candy Wrapper Purse, by bagladymomma

-Slide Chadelier, by doingitherself

-Postage Stamp Bowl, by Pinwheel

-Faucet Necklace, by kristi222

-Upholstered Cardboard Chair, by Inklude

-Shop a Holic Umbrella, by erikochan

Best of luck to all who entered!
