DIY- Jewelry Packaging

This weekend while I was putting my orders together for shipment.  I ran out of my organza bags I typically buy from Michael's to pack my Etsy orders in . My sister in law (Jen) happen to be with me at home and said I should make my own bags. I don't think she understood....me and sewing machines don't go together. But I'm always up for a challenge. So I hopped on YouTube and found a tutorial on how to get started. Lucky for me my mom left her sewing machine in my laundry room (its been there for over a year). So an hour later I came up with these bad boys and pretty happy with them :) I know it's a pretty simple zip, zip (sewing machine noise) but this is my first stab at it and i'm going with it as my packaging :)  Did I also mention I save money doing it this way :)
 

Found this fabric at Joann's and loved it. It was a great compliment to my Etsy logo.


Still have to work on my cutting skills, so I don't waste.

I was on a roll. Ribbon and template in hand. I forgot to take pics of scissors and sewing machine to get the full effect.
Ta Da!  With every purchase of mishshell jewelry they'll be in these bad boys :)
