You've Arrived.... Recycle with style with this evening bag kit!

CD Hand Bag KitInspired by those fabulous beaded bags of the early part of the century with an updated concept and a very new millenium twist on it. You take two of those annoyingly common cd's and create an object of adornment and fantasy. Put anything you want on it, it will be yours alone.

Converting commonplace items into a visual fantasy used to be exclusively fairy godmother territory! But, unlike Cinderella's slippers or coach, these do not change back into their mundane selves at midnight.

The kit contains instructions and a template for drilling your CDs, a template for making the liner, adhesive-backed patterened sheet with fractal design, and then you can choose between two distinctly different styles of construction.

The gemstone/vintage jewelry version (there's also a single large gemstone version..here shown in teal) features a wonderful beaded wireworked ruffle, a center disk to paint and cover plus materials to make your own "bling bling" and gives you a great canvas to stamp, CD Hand Bag Kitglue, paint and cover the CD and make it yours.. You get 2 disks to paint matching colors, seed beads to make that nice "ruffle edge", and dichroic glass "gemstone" dots to arrange with your own special finds.

The "charming version" (shown in green and red) takes a different approach. Instead of the wirework to support your handbag's inside, tube beads act as spacers threaded with with wire and ending in loops. That's where the charm goes... those loops allow you to hang colorful enameled charms of everything from butterflies to cocktails, cats to handbags and shoes to create swing and motion. Pick your 1 dz charm set from our charms pages--. You also get the spacer beads. If you already have something you want to use as a spacer, these beads will be perfect on your "fringe" to add extra sparkle. Since the exact width of the bag is up to you, the 18 inches of ribbon you'll use to mask the liner bottom is about an inch and a half wide. You supply the imagination. Recycle with style! Make a statment with your handbag!
