Sometimes giving gift cards can seem a little empty, but there are certain situations where they really are the best option. I wanted to give Elise’s teachers gift cards for Christmas, so I decided to personalize the gift a bit by making some coin purses (similar to those I made for Elise’s birthday party).
I used the same black and white striped fabric I used on my recent baby quilt and some pink cross-hatch fabric for the lining.
I had zippers on hand from my last go-around with coin purses and all the fabric as well, so these cost nothing to make. I think they’d price out between $1 and $2 each if you had to buy all the materials.
These really are so simple to make. I made them assembly-line style, but they probably only took around 20 minutes a piece. (Same as last time, I generally followed this tutorial at Noodlehead.) I even made an extra for myself!
