Mini Backpack

 Awhile a go, I was checking out different blogs and I came across this cute little backpack that was created by - Pootles. I like to visit her blog as she does a variety of different types of crafts.  I was looking for something to make for Jennifer as she got such an excellent report card again.  I thought this was perfect as I can but some goodies inside along with some $$$$ which she has become fond of.  The other day I asked her what she was going to do with the $5 Aunt Mini (that's what she calls Margaret) gave her and she said she can buy 5 things at the Dollar Store!  

I made this in one of her favorite colors with corresponding DSP.  My friend Denise sent me the adorable little hearts from SU, and I thought it looked so cute tied in.

Here is a view of the side.  Following her video it was really easy to cut out and put together.

Here is a picture of the back with the straps.  She made hers 1/4" but I decided to go with 1/2" for more durability.  She also used magnets to close the flaps.  It took awhile to find the right strength - 8mm x 1mm but finally I ordered them on Amazon.  The sentiment is another one from Maker Forte.  

Thanks for stopping by,
