Flashback Creation: Guitar Hero Bags

What made me think of these today is the fact that I made these in Jan of last year and the girls STILL carry them around and YES they are as cool as they look in the pics I am very proud of these....course improvements can be made but they absolutely ROCK my girls' worlds!







Here is the original post from Jan 2008:

These were absolutely so fun to make for the girls. G1 of course wanted the spidey fabric I had in my scraps and I think it turned out pretty cool. G2 wanted pink and black but I wish she had picked a darker color so the wii remote would stand out more. For those that do not know these were traced from the Guitar Hero guitar controller that is used in a video game called Guitar Hero and the girls received it at solstice. You put the wii remote into the guitar and the strums and such are done with buttons! The buttons on these guitars were some vintage ones I had and they perfectly matched the shininess and width of the real ones but they were a tad too heavy for the fabric-not a big deal cause they turned out fine! I lined the spidey one with blue satin and ended up putting a zipper on the pink one since she wanted to be able to carry dolly accessories to her friend's house and not have them fall out which made it bunch at the top a little. Also the whammy bar is not as big as it should be on the pink one cause she wanted it that way. All of these were modeled after the inspiration from this one.
