Coin Purse Necklaces

Earlier this year at some antique shows I saw a few people wearing cute vintage coin purse cross body purses as necklaces and I thought I would give it a try.

 I had to puncture some small holes just under the metal at the top so that I could get some rings through. Then just adding some chain to the top and VOILA!....................


Then a little embellishment to the front to give it a little POP!
I think they turned out really cute!

What do you think??

    Cute idea and a great use for coin purses that have been separated from their original handbags.

    I think they turned out fabulous! What a great way to fashionably cart around some change! *winks* I may make one of these from my Grand-Daughter... well, and one for me too of coarse! *winks*
