Making a 1940's Plasticflex Handbag in 2023 ✨

The company that first made Plasticflex handbags closed in 1960, so does that make this the first plastic tile handbag made in over 60 years? Probably not, but maybe! Today I'm diving into a bag of 3D printed resin tiles to do a little time travel...
Kristina and Tim have uploaded the tile here if you would like to 3D print you're own set of tiles www.myminifact...
You can visit their etsy shop here : www.etsy.com/s... where they could potentially be convinced to print you some tiles on a custom order basis ✨

This project was not sponsored, but Kristina and Tim are SUPER AWESOME and sent me the tiles to work with.

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
