DIY No Sew Furoshiki Purse

👜This is super cute and I really wanna make me one!👜

What does Furoshiki mean? Furoshiki is the Japanese

term for “wrapping cloth” and has roots all the way back

to the Edo period (we’re talking 1600-1800s here!) and was

born from their bath culture. People would use furoshiki

as a way to carry & store personal belongings.

We’ll be staying true to its original intent but taking

an everyday spin on it as a summertime purse.

You’ll Need:

a square piece of fabric (at least 26″x26″)

2 purse handles (you can stain them)

Buy your handles here.

You’ll Need:

a square piece of fabric (mine was 26″x26″)

2 purse handles (I stained these darker)

1. Start with the back of the fabric facing up. This side will

become the inside of the purse. Place one handle roughly 1/3

of the way down and centered. Take the bottom corners of

the fabric and fold them over the handle.

2. Pull the fabric corners from the front of

the handle to the back.

3. Bring the two corners together in the front and

tie into a simple bow. Tuck the bottom corner into the purse.

4. Repeat on the other side of the fabric with the remaining

purse handle and corners. Fluff it up, arrange

the bow, and you’re done!

Note: I would recommend using a medium weight fabric

(think cheap bandana weight) so it is thin enough to tie

but thick enough to hold its shape. If you want to use a

lightweight fabric, use spray starch to help it have structure.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
