Simple Way to Use Scrap

[ArkieNewbie]

I have some odds and ends of an oil tanned side laying around and wanted to find some way to use it. Some might say this wrinkled piece might not be good for much but I love how it looks in this simple little change purse. What do y'all think?

I think it looks great. Almost has an elephant hide look to it. Just remember, it's not scrap if you can put it to use!

That's awesome.  I have a couple drawers full of bits and pieces that I need to find a use for.  Something like this would be great.

Good use of small pieces.  I have 4 large rubbermaid tubs of them. Could make lots of coin purses.  Looks great with wrinkles.

Life isn't always about perfection that's the joy of working with products made naturally. I think that looks great !!

Thanks, Chuck! You're so right! There's beauty in most things if you can pull it out.

Thank you!! I thought it had a super cool look to it! I had used a larger piece on the flap of a purse for my daughter. Added a nice contrast and accent.

It was fun and super simple! Even the strap across the front was a piece of scrap.

I think I'm insulted. I don't see any Coast Guard in that collection.

Guess I'll have to start building some of those myself.
