Guys! I am SO excited. No, not just about these adorable, easy-to-make, vintage lace wallets. although I'm also very excited about those....
But I'm also very excited because my little town has a craft show every Thursday at a little park with a little fountain at the center. It's real nifty. You can sell anything from hot dogs, to homemade earrings. And guess who's going to be setting up there very own booth there from now on? Yup. Yours truly.
I'm definitely going to include some of these lace wallets in my merchandise. They're so easy to make, and they look expensive. I know I feel like a ritzy rich girl when I flip mine out onto the counter. Although the feeling is neutralized when I'm buying bologna at Walmart... But I try to live in the fantasy of the fancy wallet girl as long as I can...
Now without further ado, let me give you some simple instructions....
Start out with a wallet. I find really beautiful ones at thrift stores. That's where I found all of these. And they cost like 25 cents.
Pin lace trim to the edge.
Hand sew, use machine, or even glue.
There you have it. Easy as pumpkin pie.
I use it for my checkbook :) It somehow makes spending money less sad...
Especially if you use a sewing machine like I did, this baby is super durable.
For my change purse I used an old lace dress. I cut it to the size of the purse...
Then smother it with super glue. Carefully press the lace on and wait for it to dry!
Elegant, dainty.
I know it's a change purse, but I keep bills in it too. I hope you have fun making one! I know I did. It's also a really easy gift! Okay, bye.
