I used a polka dot print to match my ribbon to make tubes that are twice the length of the handle. They are slid over the handle and tacked in place. </B></div> <div> <B>5) A purchased feather boa was used to decorate the upper edge of the purse. </B></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 520 WIDTH="709"><bR> <div> <B>MADE BY DARLENE SPENCER  </B></div> <div> <B>From Canyon Lake, Texas </B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="625065d0.jpg" border=0 width="262" height="349" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div>                                                                     Made from a pair of jeans.  </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
