Another project finished

I’ve finished another project which was to crochet covers for four bags. These were given to us when we made international flights. They originally container a tiny toothbrush and a small phial of tooth-paste as well as an eye-mask and bed socks. I haven’t found a use for them here but I might fill them with sample-size shampoo, conditioner, hand-cream, etc and give them to a women’s refuge. They might be a nice use for them. What do you think?

They are very beautiful. They can also work like wallet or pencil-box

I remember when you showed the bags, they look so pretty now. I have many of them (from Pan Am and Delta Airlines) I have not found a use for them, but I think that your idea to give them to a women’s refuge is a great idea. I will do the same.

If we were closer, I could crochet covers for them.

I think some of my friends are going to hunt out any that they have and give them to me.

@LadyDuck It's a good way to use up small quantities of yarn.

They are all so nice!! I love the colors and the extra decorative patterns (not sure what they're called). How long does it take to create one?

I could do one in a day if I had to but mostly I spaced it out over a couple of days.

@much2say They are quite small really and crocheting is quick to grow.

Those covers are really cute. I think filling them with useful items and giving to a refuge is a very good idea.

They're not much use for anything else. They don't hold a lot.

@JudyEv I love the picture of your project you finished. They look very good. It sounds like a good idea to do that. You created what you feel you want to put in the bags.

@LindaOHio Beanies are always easy and good for using up scraps. I could make some little kids' 'coats of many colours' I guess.

Very pretty way to give new life to something. I am sure they will be useful as well.

They have the name of the airline all over the outside so this pretties them up a bit.

I think that's an excellent idea, and one I believe I mentioned before

Those are really cute, and donating them to a refuge would be such a lovely thing to do : ) They remind me of a project by one of my favourite bloggers (actually I only ever occasionally read a couple, but I love hers):

You did a wonderful job repurposing the bags, they look so pretty now, who wouldn't like to receive one? I think that your idea of donating to a women's shelter may be well received, many must start all over without anything and these are just so pretty.

It might be a bit of a boost to their mood to get something a bit pretty with a few feminine articles in it.

They are pretty. They could be makeup cases too. You could maybe sell them for that if you wanted

They all look very petty. Giving them to a women's refuge is a good idea. You may keep one for holding sample sample-size shampoo etc when you travel.
