Turning my card holder into mini purse 👛

One of the reasons why I love card holder with flap compartment is because I can make it into a mini purse 👛

I bought the chains, lobster claps, and hole puncher are all from HobbyLobby, you can find any craft supplies there!

The chains that I found have two different lengths, one is 16inches and the other is 30inches. The 16inches turn out to be a great length for a shorter purse. To create a crossbody purse I have to used two 30inches and connecting them together. I love to used two different kind of chains to create a unique look.

Send me pictures if you end up trying this DIY! 🫶🏻

... Read moreCreating your own mini purse from a card holder is not only a fun DIY project but also a way to personalize your accessories. To get started, gather the necessary supplies: a card holder with a flap, chains (16 inches and 30 inches recommended), lobster clasps, and a hole puncher. You can find these materials at craft stores like HobbyLobby. Begin by determining the length of the chain you want for your mini purse. The 16-inch chain is ideal for a short purse, while the 30-inch chain can be used to create a crossbody look. Connect two 30-inch chains to achieve this style. When attaching the chains, make sure both ends have lobster clasps for easy opening and closing. Next, use the hole puncher to make holes on the unused card within the card holder. Insert the card into the flap compartment and attach the lobster clasps to the holes you made. This simple step will secure your new mini purse and provide a unique look. With a touch of creativity, you can mix and match chains to really make your purse stand out. Don’t forget to showcase your new creation by sending pictures if you try out this DIY! It's a perfect project to prepare for upcoming spring fashion trends. Happy crafting!
