I made my mom and sister each a Snap Happy bag then they asked me to make more. This is just a few of them. I think I've now made 26 of them. This is the pattern that uses the tape measure at the top. Great for Christmas presents. This pattern is by Stitchin' Sisters. Fun to make

Am I on your list ? HA! Nice work!

Love making these! Yours are wonderful!

Gee, now that you've made 26 of them you could make one for the rest of the 2000+ of us.LOL Great looking bags, good job.

Those are just too cute !!

very nice!

I love the bags!! Now, which one is mine? heheheh!!

Love them all but my fav is the one with the stars....:)

Great! The one in the top left will match my purse perfectly!! LOL

I call dibs on the black with white swirls !!!

They are all so cute. Great job and you are right......what great gifts.

These are cute! I'm thinking stocking stuffers... thanks!

Do you have a source for the metal piece other than old tape measures?

You can get tape measures at Dollar Tree and they would work great.

Cute

Very pretty. Great looking purses/bags.

Nice. You're probably just getting started because when this batch is seen there will e more requests.

They are darling. Isn't that amazing how an old metal tape measure can do such a great thing.

Never heard of this yet -please explain -TAPE MEASURES? Is there another link?

Love them. My quilt group has been making them for auction for missions. Great fun. Yours are really cute. :)

Thanks for posting that turorial. Its a good one.

You can get it online or at a quilt store. I got mine from a quilt store. Its by Stitchin' Sisters called Snap Happy.

I stole my husbands tape measurer :mrgreen: I actually had to steal 2. :mrgreen: I replaced them with a smaller hoping he won't notice :mrgreen: However, I've heard of people using the old metal blinds too. :thumbup:

Nice!!

Your bags are great! I love this idea! Thanks for that link ~~ her bag tut was great! Off to the dollar store... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

:thumbup:

They are so cute. I would have a hard time picking a favorite. Thanks for sharing.

I love your bags!

Those are sooo cute, I bought the pattern too. Thanks for showing us. :-D

I love your bags, how big r they and u put no zipper right?
Nice gifts

I made one but I boxed the bottom and put regular straps on the top. It holds more and gets many compliments. And the 'snap' works just fine - if I don't overload the bag, that is!

I love making these. You can add trims to the outside too.
Found the best place to get the tape measures is at the dollar store. I also use a double layer of the measuring tape, put together round the ends a little, then use electrical tape wrapped around the ends.

Love snap bags! Made them in seveal sizes! and yes...Dollar store has great tape measures. DH wanted mine but not after I trimmed off 9".Just remember to tape the end so it won't retract into itself!

they tend to be addictive
