🇮🇹 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE! 🇮🇹

What happens when an Italian-inspired color palette meets peyote stitch?

Today I'm showing you how to create my Italian Getaway Travel Charm—a project inspired by mosaic tiles, European adventures, and a little handmade creativity.

This project can be attached to a purse, planner, project bag, backpack, or luggage, making it both beautiful and functional.

I absolutely love how this one turned out!

🧳 If you could take your Italian Getaway anywhere in the world, where would it go?
