Mini Beret
Instead of paying $32 for a mini beret online, you can casily create one yourself for less than 50 cents. All you need is a 7'' diameter circle of felt and a tiny piece of scrap for the stem. Hand sew a continuous chain of simple stitches along the edge of the circle, then pull the string together to form a hat shape. Make a stem for the hat and sew it to the crown.

Record earring display
Get a record from Salvation Armyfor 50 cents, use a ruler to make rows of dots 1/2 inches apart. Then take a Dremel tool with the tiniest bit to drill rows of holes on it. Finally drill two larger holes at the top to hang a ribbon through.

Sushi bag
This bag is created from felt, so there is no need to hem the edge. It should be self-explanatory.

Rock and Rolling

To create this purse, first use a pointed object to scratch a line along the exact center of a vinyl record. Use a lighter to burn the center line you just scratched so the line become soft and easy to cut. Use a very sharp scissor to cut the record in half immediately. Find a cheap bag that can hide behind the half-record and glue everything together.
