Purse Strap Belt


Here is another great find from the thrift store this week.
I L.O.V.E. the embossed design on the front pocket!!!  I instatnly had a project in mind for that pocket.

After I got home and was showing my husband this purse and sharing my idea for that pocket I started thinking about the purse strap.

 
The strap is soooo pretty! I thought it would make a cute belt.

The purse also had a belt buckle on each side that the strap was buckled to.

I grabbed my seam ripper (my friend today) and got busy getting that buckle.

I sandwiches the purse strap between the buckle pieces.


Here's a side wiew.



Sew it following stitching holes that are there from being on the purse.

I really wish the purse strap would have been longer. I really want one for myself! LOL!!!
