Quick Purse, Bracelet For Grandaughter

[rosiart]

I had 2 hours to get this done before her sister woke up and considering I had to glue a lambskin lining to the faux crocodile, they don't look too bad. She loves purple and I had some of this faux crocodile, so she ended up with a pretty stylish purse/bracelet combo. I had to cheat and use a strap from a Value Village find that I had purchased for its hardware but that didn't bother her any. Got me lots of granny points. lol

Nice work. I have two granddaughters, 22 month old twins, right now they just like to play with the scraps and a "purse" I made to test turning a pocket inside out. I cant wait till they get a little older and learn the craft (I hope) They do get to stamp the leather, Well I hold the stamp and they swing a nerf mallet. I love them but Im not stupid. I press the stamp into the leather. No way Im letting them whack me with a real maul.

I digress, That looks really good. well done!

Thanks so much.

The original plan was to stamp a bracelet but she had seen my orange purse in progress, so lobbied for a purse and bracelet. Quite the negotiator. She helped with gluing the liner in and deciding which part of the leather pattern should be used.

She built one in paper that she had done art work on while I was doing this and actually had a great idea for a belt closure, that I may have to use on another project.
