Description:

I got the idea for this swap after doing the coin purse and surprise swap. My partner was @earthnk and she likes upcycled items. I had to step putside of my comfort zone for her purse and would like to encourage you to do the same for this swap. It really is fun to try new things...

For this swap we will make a coin purse for our partner... using something that you would ordinarily not need anymore. I like to use Starbucks coffee bags. You can use Caprisuns, other coffees, whatever you would like - as long as it will not tear.

You can decide on the size of the coin purse and how it closes. It is also your choice as to what you upcycle... it would be a waste to buy something that you would never use just to make the coin purse. That defeats the point. I only used the coffee bag on the front of my coin purse and that is fine to do. I would advise that you line your coin purse though.

I am giving a month to complete the swap so you will have enoug time to use something and get the packaging.

General swap rules apply... Don't flake - it isn't cool. No recent 1's or 3's without PMing me. Swaps need to be sent on time to keep everyone happy.

I just tried making one with a crisp (potato chip) bag from England. It worked really well... I'll keep this one for myself, but have some more options for my partner. :)

Hey! That cute lil coin purse looks familiar. Maybe it's because it's sitting in my lap right now as I ooh and ahh over it :-) Thanks bunches!
