| Vintage Photograph Bag Tutorial Curtsey Boutique Designer Connie Mercer |
One of the absolute best parts of my morning routine is checking out my inbox to see what lovely creations my designers have sent me. I truly am amazed by their creative and this project by Connie is perhaps one of my most favorite.
Today she shares a lovely tutorial for making photograph bags to house lovely vintage snapshots. I hope you enjoy following along.
1. Take the muslin bags and soak them in strong tea.
