Victoria Jin 2023-08-22 | Today weโre crafting some very non-edible heart-shaped bags using suede and imitation cream, inspired by German Christmas cookies, and the 1995 Chanel Vanity Case. Kindergartner-level joy was most definitely had while making these. I know it's not the Christmas season yet, but I really wanted to make these. I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.
