Gram showed me how to make a purse using a store bought placemat! They are really cute and easy to make!

I remember those from the early 80's. I had a yellow one!

what a clever idea. I bet you could use placemat for lots of things.

My gram has made a few of them for people so I decided to give it a try. So simple to do. The worst part for me was sewing the handles on. I think my next project will be to try and make a matching wallet out of one.

Very nice. A friend of mine was featured on Martha Stewarts show with a purse she made out of a placemat think it was some kind of clutch.
