The sponsors sent us bloggers a tote bag full of craft products which we were supposed to use to design an easy project.  I entered this owl pendant made from paper book tags.

When I saw these cute little owl tabs, I realized they were perfect for making jewelry pieces from.

A very quick and easy craft to do.  The instructions for the project are on the FaveCrafts website.

(along with instructions) with this "Free" eBook from FaveCrafts, called "How to Make a Purse: 20 Patterns for Sewing Totes and Purses." This is a great opportunity to learn how to make a tote or just add to you pattern collection.
    The book also offers some great inspiration for those last minute handmade gifts or for making that special purse to go with a costume like the one below which I am thinking of making to go with a fairy costume for the upcoming Labyrinth Masquerade Ball.  I will probably use a smaller flower and add some leaves onto the fringe.

So pop on over to FaveCrafts and check the book out for yourself and see if it inspires some creative ideas for you.  The site has hundreds of tutorials and patterns in paper crafts, jewelry making, crochet, knitting and so much more. Below is a short video that FaveCrafts has on YouTube that gives the viewer a better idea of some of the fun projects that are in the ebook.
