Well, it took me 2 days (evenings after work), but I finished the purse made from a book. I actually made a clutch and not a purse, because I wanted to give it that old school look when people used to tie their books together with string or leather instead of a backpack. This first book purse will be going to AJ, since she made first dibs quite awhile back. Which reminds me, I need to make another carton change purse for Keeley.
The overall directions were not super clear, plus they didn't explain all the elements that you needed to know, and they didn't give you a very polished end product. I'm going to make a second one and hopefully fix all of the little problems.
I'm just posting pics tonight, because I'm tired and really need to go to bed.

Devo-you could sell those. No joke. It would be such a good idea to go to used book stores and get a bunch of books and turn it for a profit. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI agreee with Keeley's comment! Sell it on Esty or at Eastern Market! They really look cool, cute and unique!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the green & brown, love the leather tie, love that you used Mansfield Park. :)
ReplyDeleteOooo....this is a great project. I think it turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteAfter your wikihow days you could become an Etsy seller with a full blown store! :)
I am planning on it. Already have 8 books for this specific project! :) I will be calling my brand Devco (thanks to Keeley and AJ)
ReplyDeletePS - the lighting was off and this book is actually a sea blue (why it's going to AJ)
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
