Sleigh bells ring, are ya listening?

You'll be happy tonight,
ETC's 5th Monday Sale!!!

Yes, today is one of those rare 5th Mondays in a month (how rare? well, there were only 4 this year & there will only be 4 next year as well).

To celebrate this special day, ETC has designated this to be $5 Monday.....on the fifth Monday of every month, we feature items in our shops that are only $5. This could be their regular price or a special 1-day-only sale price.

This month, we have more than 50 shops participating in this event, and the last time I checked, there were more than 750 items tagged with ETC5....yep, that's how you'll find these great deals, just search Etsy for *ALL* items with the tag ETC5.

Tuesday Tutorial & More

Today's tutorial is an upcycling project. What is upcycling, you ask? Upcycling simply means taking something that would normally be thrown away and creating something new with it. In this case, we are upcycling those plastic bags that we've all got an over-abundance of into really cool and re-usable tote bags. This particular tutorial is basically 3 tutorials in one:

1. fusing plastic bags
2. Making box corners
3. Making a fusion bag

The fusing tutorial is courtesy of Etsy Labs, and the other two are courtesy of Sew Take A Hike. When you have time, wander around both of these sites for even more wonderful tutorials!

Also, if you have not already done so, please stop by our What's New with ETC? thread to meet our newest members and check out our latest creations.

Lastly, since this month has 5 Mondays, we will be holding our $5 Monday event again this month. And yes, it falls on Cyber Monday, so don't forget to spend some of your holiday shopping time with us that day, taking advantage of our $5 listings!
