I know, what the heck???
This is the hardware of a purse. You may know I love thrift, garage, church rummage sales…This piece I bought at a church garage sale in Naples (my BFF in Naples is really into this stuff too, more on her in another post). It was a complete purse with fabric and sequins. I purchased it for $2 and cut off the fabric. Now…What should I do with it?? Crochet of course, I can use wool and felt it, add a chain and make a cross body?? I can use cotton and make a summery clutch?? I can use specialty shiny or sequined type yarn and crochet a shape?? Ahhh shape? Long and narrow, rounded and gathered?
Below is my next victim. I’ve had this beauty for a while… Thoughts??
And here is one that I have felted with Cascade 220 fingering yarn…
I plan to redo this to make a clutch or a go bag for phone and essentials. I have no loops for a chain.
Below is a store bought coin purse hardware that I played with. I may remake this too. You can find these in most craft stores like Joann, Michael’s or Hobby Lobby..
I would love your thoughts and opinions……..feel free to leave a comment.
By the way, I’ve been know to buy a blouse or other object at a thrifty place just for the buttons. Oh am I the only one???
