I found this cool tutorial for a purse made from an old book and decided this would make a fun swap

first you need to go here and watch the video (sorry i don't know how to link it)

http://www.my-perfect-designer-handbag.com/book-purse.html#bookpursevideo

now pick out your book and start crafting try to find one with an interesting cover so you end up with an fun purse if you can't find one you like then glue on a high quality printed image of a book cover
make it look nice
be sure to use a clear coat of some kind on the cover to protect it

your book should be at least an inch thick your purse must be lined it must have handles otherwise it would simply be a box and it should be something you would love to receive

when you get it all done fill it with crafty goodies that your partner can use for their next craft project

im giving everyone a month to work on their project you don't have to check our partners profile but your welcome to if you want

USA only feel free to start an international one 4.9 or higher
no newbies for this one at least 10 type 3 swaps Have fun Play nice

That is so cool! I wish I could do something like that!

That is VERY cool. But I don't have 10 type 3's under my belt yet.

This is so neat! What I love about swap-bot, learning how to make new crafts :) I think I'll go to the thrift store and look for cool book covers..I'm sure it's pretty inexpensive and there will be something I can pick out! Love this! Thanks for hosting!

whats even cooler is i went to the thrift store, and bought purses for under a buck, and can use the eccentric handles from them. Love it!

This is so cute! Thank you so much for the idea. I only have 6 type 3s so no way will I have 10 by the 20th. But I will have to do this for 2 of my book lover friends.

I don't have enough type 3's (even though swap-bot didn't rate them this way int he beginning). I am hoping you will do this swap again soon!
