These are some bags I made from the "Snap Happy" bag pattern. They are cute and fun to make.

Very cute. Are they used as change purses?

I love that pattern they are so much fun to make! yours are so cute!

Is this the pattern that uses part of horizontal shades? What do you use them for? The fabric is adorable.

These are the ones that use the metal measuring tape. I plan to use the halloween ones and put treats in them for a couple of special children I know.

How Cute. These have been on my to do list for awhile. Your Halloween one's gave me an idea for the trick or treaters since we give pencils and candy I could make them pencil box shaped.

How funny! I totally just got that pattern this weekend but in a bigger "purse" form! Did you just cut up a measuring tape for that part or can you buy pieces somewhere? Yours are adorable!

I use mine as a catch all in my purse. I put lipstick, dental floss, brush, etc. in it. I think you'd have to make a smaller version with a shorter metal tape for the top if you want to put coins in it.

Love this little pattern..I used to make them and give them as door prizes when I was teaching line dancing!! Great, great little bags......

Yes catch all bags in purse.Connie in CO

adorable. :D

FYI I get the mesureing tape at the dollar store you have to have masking tape and some way to curve the ends sharp scissors work but dont use your sewing sissors and once you cut the end of the tape make sure you lock the tape mesure or pull it all the way out and cut that way not pretty if it rolls inside :-)

Great tip DigitizingQ!

One of our LQS had a pile of those at the cash register and they are DARLING!!

These are so cute. I have this pattern, but have not made any. Hmmm, maybe this should move up in my project line (smile). Love the idea of using them for trick or treat bags. Thanks for sharing.

So cute!

Love them!

very cute

Adorable! You can use these snap bags for so many things. It's a great idea-thanks for sharing yours.

Yes, I just used a dollar store measuring tape and cut it up with an old pair of scissors. In one of them I doubled up on the tape and it seemed like a stronger close. I was thinking of making a larger version for a cosmetic bag.

Those are cute. I've gotta make some of those.

Cute

Cute

I'm coming trick-or-treating to your house!

I love that pattern too. I have even made them bigger and taped 2 pieces of the metal rule together for each side to make it work better.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. Those are such cute bags.

Really cute. Got a lot done.

Great idea. I never thought about doubling the metal tape. I made a larger one and used 8" of tape but it just didn't have the "SNAP".

i use mine to hold my camera in my in my purse. perfect fit for my little kodak!

they can be made any size you want, made some to hold sun glasses and rotary cutters.

the halloween one you made it just sooo cute!

I find if the tape isn't long enough that will happen.To much space between the tape and the seam line.Connie in CO.PS i like to square up my corners.I have pictures.Connie in CO

Those are so cute! Who is the pattern by?

When you double the tape do you tape them together or just tape the ends to keep them from poking through the fabric?

Very cute!!

I just taped the ends together. It made it a little sturdier. If I was doing a larger bag I might tape it together in the middle as well. As it is I don't think they'll come apart. Thanks.

Found the bag in Sisters Ore. At Jean Wells store and bought it quickly. They were disappearing fast. Those are just darling. Great bags..and how many tapes did you use..? Lol!

I love making these as gifts. They're so appreciated.

For all the ones pictured I use just one tape. I think I cut the lenghts at about 7" so I got quite a few out of one tape. Love to see yours when you get one done.
