"PIMP MY BRA" Bag #2

It's that time of year again!

Last year this went so well and the participants had so much fun that I thought we would do it again! Christmas is coming and these are DEFINITELY unique gifts!

This is what you'll do:

Get a padded bra with the underwire. Glue or sew the cups together to form a pouch. You can either remove the straps and reattach where you desire or leave them as is. Embellish the heck outta the bra and you end up with a very cute (and unique) handbag.

I made some of these for my girls and they LOVED them. They're big enough to carry a cell phone, lipstick and a coin purse (unless you use a Super Hooter bra, LOL)

Here are a couple websites:

These are so much fun to make! You can find cute bras at garage sales, thrify stores or perhaps you have one ot two in your closet that are too big or small. Whatever the source DO make sure the bra is clean and not all torn up and nasty.

You will have 2 partners. You will make 1 bra bag for each partner. Be creative and enjoy!

Some comments from last year's participants:
