The Quickie UltraSuede Purse
Instructions are for Dollhouse size purse.
Step 1
Cut a piece of Ultrasuede light approx 1-1/8 x 5/8", a small piece of chain around 1" and a finding of your choice.
Step 2
Using a pliers fold the finding in half but do not squeeze it all the way tight on its self. Glue edge of the Ultrasuede.
Step 3
Fold the piece of Ultrasuede, gluing right sides together. Let dry. I use Grrip glue and it dries very fast. Turn right sides out.
Step 4
Stuff a tiny bit of stuffing in the opening so it looks like there is something in the purse.
Step 5
I usually tuck the side glued edge in a bit so the purse has more shape. Not necessary though. Sometimes I tuck the bottom edge corners in to give the bottom more of a rounded shape. Glue the purse opening closed.
Step 6
Glue the chain to the inside top edge on the finding. I have found it easier to do it this way so that chain does not shift around. Let dry.
Step 7
Gently squeeze the finding over the open end of the purse.
Step 8
If you have more than a minute add some beads, pearls or like baubles to fancy it up a bit.
