I’m back with a bang! Today is Dec. 1, 2017 and that means my brand new FREE video tutorial series kicks off today! YAY! I decided to create a new video series called, “12 Days of Last Minute DIY Gifts” because I KNOW I’m not the only one racing against the clock to finish up holiday gifts this year. These will be 12 quick and easy gift projects that you can make any time of year really but they will come in especially handy if you still have gifts to make for loved ones and you have no idea what to make.
Well, look no further because Day 1 is here and in this video tutorial I teach you how to make my Snappy Wristlet.

This was fantastic. Loved it. Going to make a few for my gift cards. Thank you Vanessa. Liked the format, however I am experienced, a beginner might need it a biit slower, especially the snap part, or maybe show an alternative to the snap closure. Heading to my machine now!????

Looks like a great project for my girls, ages 10 & 6, to make with little help from me. It’s a great video that I could keep up with however I would recommend slowing down a bit, I think it would help those beginners who need a few extra seconds between each step.

Connie

JoAnne
Thank you! Great project!

I usually watch your videos through, even if I don’t plant to make the item right away. Yes, I liked the voiceover, as you showed the directions. With this video, however, the tip on using pinking shears in place of notching was great and had me wondering why did I never think of that?! I’ve been sewing for many years.
Thank you!
SNH

As I was checking out tonight I saw an email address to get senior discount codes for coupons. I don’t remember the email address and can’t find it anymore. Can you please give me the address?
Thank you for any help you can provide
