Cheap Ways to Make a Purse

purse.jpg Jeff and I shot photos for a wedding this weekend. I met a lady who had made this adorable purse for less than $2. Can you guess what it is?

It's a ordinary placemat! Folded in thirds, glued or sewed shut ... then the top third flap closes the contents of a purse to make a clutch. she has a jeweled pin that she can swap out if she wants. A great cheap tip!

Is it a placemat, or a napkin? It's very cute!

My favorite cheap purse idea - wait to buy makeup until it's "free gift" (isn't that redundant) time and turn the bag into my new purse. I get a bunch of makeup and a purse for around 25 bucks.
