Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 30 minutes or less
What You Need:
An old pair of jeans
Ribbon
A seam ripper
A needle
Thread
Scissors
Here's How:
Remove the back pockets from a pair of jeans using a seam ripper. Hint: If you work on the inside of the pants, the seams will be easy to see and rip.
Place the two pockets on top of each other, with good sides facing out, and pin.
Then, cut a piece of ribbon to serve as the handle, tuck it inside the pockets, and pin in place.
Sew around the outside edge of the pockets, and your purse is complete!.
Tips:
Personalize your purse with embroidery, buttons, bows or other embellishments.
Use the pockets off of a pair of child's jeans to make a change purse to go inside your purse.

Homemade soap is a quick and affordable gift that's sure to wow – especially when it's this popsicle soap. Yum!
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 15 minutes
What You Need:
Glycerin soap
Soap dye
Fragrance oil (fragrance)
Popsicle mold
Popsicle sticks
microwave-safe bowl or container
Knife
Foil
Here's How:
Coat the inside of your popsicle mold with cooking spray.
Next, cut up the glycerin soap into small cubes, and heat in a microwave-safe container according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Pour the melted soap into the popsicle mold, filling all the way to the top.
Add in soap dye and fragrance as desired.
Then, place a piece of foil over the top of the mold, and insert a popsicle stick through the foil and into each popsicle compartment. Hold the sticks down for one to two minutes, or until the soap starts to set up. (This will prevent the sticks from floating up).
Allow the soap to cool and harden for two to three hours.
Release the soap from the mold by inserting a knife on both sides of the bar, and then using the popsicle stick to pull out the finished soap.
Wrap, and give.
Tips:
For a pretty presentation, wrap each soap in a plastic; and tie with a bow.
Select fragrances and colors that suggest popular popsicle flavors--cherry, banana, chocolate, etc.
When giving to kids, be sure to label each bar as "soap."

History of the handkerchief
A handkerchief is a small, square, thin cloth used for wiping.
The pocket handkerchief is in fact only 400 years old. It was the idea of a Venetian lady to cut a square out of pure flax and then decorate it with lace. She showed it to the people in a public garden, where the delicate handkerchief excited the general curiosity of the onlookers.
From Italy, the handkerchief soon crossed the Alps and spread through France where it was found to be a great success with the Lords and Ladies in the court of Henry II. The hankerchief of this period was made with the most expensive fabrics, adorned with embroidery and were objects of great luxury.
In 1850, Germany adopted the handkerchief ,but it was only used by royalty and the aristocrats.
Until 18th century, the handkerchief came in many forms. One day at Versailles, Marie-Antoinette made the observation that the square form would be more convenient and pleasing. Louis XVI published a decree ordering the length of handkerchiefs produced in the kingdom would be equal to their width. Now 150 years later the handkerchiefs are being replaced by tissue ones.
