Purse Into A Wallet

IMAG0122

I made this wallet from the great directions on Confessions of a Fabricaholic- HERE. For the outside of the wallet I decided to use the material of an old purse I had been holding onto.

First I had to reduce the purse down to "fabric." So to start I cut off the top and bottom.

Then I cut out the size of material I need out of it. I also cut out the magnetic snap and zipper in the purse and used them in the wallet too.

And I LIKE it!

My favorite part of the wallet is this cool vintage button I used on the closure.

It was a great purse- now its a great wallet!
