Those are iron on stones & studs & stars. Find a t-shirt with the decorations already on it (thrift shops are abundant in that stuff for cheap--I get some there too. Wash them & they're ready to go!), then do the stabilizing & go to town making what you want. I have the stuff to put all the stuff on, so I add to them or replace stones (my shirt was about 10 yr. old & missing lots of the stones...thank goodness for "stash" in that kind of stuff too! The purses are washable (cold water, handwash cycle in a laundry bag--air dry after smoothing out). The scraps left from the shirts are cut up & added to the bin for pet bed pillowcase beds. Nothing goes to waste in my house!
