Embellish a handmade purse. Be creative.
Or change up a purse that you bought at a flea market or yard sale.
Be creative. I found this pottery starfish at an art fair, paid $3.00 for it, added it to a handmade knit felt purse and sold the embellished purse for $45.00. See my knit felt purses at this link.
If you'd like instructions on making these purses see this article.
Often I attach these items using either a crochet chain of the same yarn that I used making the purse or an i-cord.
To see how to make an i-cord, view my YouTube video.
Several of these purses also have i-cord handles.

- So many lovely ideas. The closure can be as creative an item as the purse itself. Blessed.
