Here is a very simple little felt purse - we will be making these at Mencap when we start the new term in September - so more photos to follow when we see what they come up with - always delights me to see their ideas and creations!
What you will need...
Felt
Embroidery thread
Charm (optional) Can use buttons or anything else as an embellishment
Magnetic clasps (we got ours on eBay)
How to make...
Cut out your two pattern pieces and your heart (or any other shape such as a flower or something geometrical)
Felt Purse Pattern
Attach you magnetic clasps positioned as below (instructions will be with clasps)
Stitch your charm or button to your heart shape.
Sew your heart over the back of the magnetic clasp, on the outside of the flap as below, using blanket stitch.
Join the two purse pattern pieces - again, I used blanket stitch.
