This little gem is darling to look at yet easy enough for a beginning crocheter to make. In addition to holding your coins, it’s perfect for storing those smaller items that roam around the interior of your purse like keys, chapstick, mints, gum, eyedrops, floss, etc., so it will keep you organized and clutter-free!

This brand of nylon yarn is sturdy, but with a nice sheen that gives it a feminine look. It comes in 83 amazing colors so you can make this purse to match any outfit. They make great gifts too. Family and friends will love getting a useful and beautiful gift like this. Trust me, I know! I can hardly keep up with their requests. :-)

Finished size is 4” H x 6 1/2” W, and I can typically make 3 of them from one roll of the nylon cord. Sewing (by hand or machine) is required to complete the purse if you desire a lining and zipper. I have made an instructional video which can be viewed on YouTube or from my website explaining the process step by step. http://funcrochetdesigns.com/crochet/index.php/helpful-tips/
