Bird Coin Purse and Fabric Buttons

bird coin purse

I was very taken with the bird handbag and matching coin purses in a Japanese craft book that Angry Chicken posted (scroll down to the April 13 entry), so while I am waiting for my book to arrive I attempted to make the coin purse on my own. I'd like to add some more details when I do it again but I think it came out pretty cute anyway.

Here's a look at the inside.

I've also been having fun making these little fabric buttons. I should have put something in the picture so you could see the scale because they are very small, only about 1/2" in diameter.

I posted a link to this pin cushion on another blog, so it's only fair to reverse it. Share the love, if you will. Check out the lily pad pin cushion

I love your stuff. I just started my own blog, so I'm learning. I like how you have a photo album of "things I've made". Could you please share how that's done? Thank you

The seed beads are actually good for the scale. most people know the size of seed beads.. The right-most one looks like a really small seed bead.. the rest look like medium to large sized ones.

They're very cute buttons and an ULTRA cute coin purse

I love the buttons. They would be perfect for hair pins. I have two adorable fabric hair pins from japan that are very similar. They look like tiny pin cushions with tassels in the center.

ahh! so nice!

wow, you do work fast... i linked to you from angry chicken.. had to see what the bird coin purse interpretation. I am thouroughly impressed. it turned out great!
I hope you post the one with more detail.. I can only imagine how cool that one will be.

I have that book!! I am just starting the purse and coin purse. but your is just like it!! how awesome is that!!
I am in love with those buttons. so great!!

The coin purse is a cute idea...and I especially LOVE those buttons!

I love those buttons! How do you make them?

Wonderful! Pretty coin purse and buttons.

You're on a roll! That coin purse is adorable. :)

Oh, that is so sweet! (the bird purse). I love your fabric choices and I'm so envious that you know how to insert a zipper. Is it hard?

pretty cute indeed!

I thought about buying that book for the bird bag/coin purse combo alone. Your bird is so very cute! I love your fabric choices. Will you be making a whole flock?

wow-wow-wow! I'm gonna link to this tomorrow-it looks awesome!

Oh, just lovely! I, too, was very taken with that matching bird bag...yay to you for attempting it, so successfully!
