Bra Purse Instructions

The Famous Bra Purse

Directions for Making the Original Bra Purse

Materials List:
Under wire bra with personality and some "body", size to be determined by what you want to carry, whether it is a lipstick and a credit card, or wallet, hairbrush, and mouthwash.
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Basin of cold water to be used in conjunction with the hot glue gun. Ouch!
Heavy needle and thread
Scissors

Embellishments: whatever speaks to you, sequins, beads, feathers, fringe, lace, birds, butterflies, flowers, etc.. Anything you can carry is appropriate.

The bra purse is extremely simple to make as there are no mistakes, only opportunities to express yourself and have fun! The first thing I did was to cut away the back of the bra, leaving perhaps 3/4 of an inch of Lycra that is then pulled over a thin application of glue and into the cups of the bra. The backs of the shoulder straps are severed at this point and left attached to the front to see if they will be of service later. The hinge at the front of the bra can now be tucked in and secured to the structure of the wires with a bit of hot glue. Now is an excellent time to attach any dangling embellishment from the bottom of the bra with the hot glue gun. By now you will probably have used the basin of cold water. Glue guns and sticks leave an immediate and painful impression, you may find toothpicks or other implements helpful. Fold the bra together, matching the curvature of the under wires, when you have a good feel for how it should fit, apply a healthy bead of hot glue and stick that rascal together. You will want to hold it firmly until the glue does it’s job.

You now have a bra purse, you still need to develop a handle, a closure and embellish. You will find that you can reattach the straps to the back of the bra with needle and thread, I took the back closure and glued both sides from the inside across the top of the purse for a "hook and eye" closure, if you choose to do this, just experiment with the length and cut away the excess from the already cut edges. You can also attach one side, apply a heavy article (perhaps a piece of jewelry) and let it hang across the top to keep the bra purse closed.

You have all the structural work done and now comes the fun part. Making it your own, one of a kind of "bra art" accessory. Tassels were my first addition (suggestion of the husband - now, what is that about?). Use the glue gun, use needle and thread, or if you are making an "office" model, paper clips. Your imagination is the only limitation to what you can accomplish.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Spring Planting

Here are some quick tips adapted from Easy Answers for Great Gardens to help you get started with knockout plant containers that cost more dimes than dollars.


 Metal
Metal containers are all the rage this season, so why not use what you already have on hand? A large olive oil tin, an old bucket--any container will do; simply use a nail to pound out drainage holes. (If it's galvanized, pot your plants in a separate container first; zinc can kill plants.)
For added color, a local restaurant may give you giant tomato sauce tins or boxy olive tins with the artwork labels printed right on the metal surface. Use these lovely artifacts to add European atmosphere to your patio by planting them with cherry tomatoes, golden sage, and dark-leafed basil. Herbs and easy-to-grow flowers like nasturtiums are especially suited for growing in these containers since they tolerate the higher soil temperature of heat-conducting metals.



Sowing Suitcases

A classic-looking suitcase lined with a garbage bag or plastic tablecloth is a novel way to showcase potted plants and greenery all year long. Rather than adding soil and planting directly inside your newfound container, simply fill it with pre-planted pots. You can keep the the pots from sitting in their drainage water by placing them on saucers turned upside down. For hanging or draping plants, stack several suitcases in a tower and use them as pedestals.

Looking for more ideas? Transform a cosmetic case or decorative wicker suitcase into a table centerpiece by filling it with blooming African violets, or use it to welcome visitors with pots of tulips on a protected front porch. Even an old foot locker can be propped open, lined with plastic, and utilized as a gigantic planter box.

Blooming Baskets

A wicker laundry basket makes a lovely porch planter for bulbs or summer annuals. Line any basket with a thick plastic garbage bag and then poke a knife through the slats of the wicker for easy drainage. Add potting soil, and you're ready to begin planting.
