This is a coin-purse I made out of a Pure Romance catalog. I had a bunch of old catalogs that were out of date and decided I should try and do something with them and not just throw them in the recycling, and this is what I did with them instead. This one is big enough for me to put all of my cards and my phone in. I didn't laminate them because I didn't know how well it would work out anyways.
The next one is a small, flat bottom purse I am working on using scentsy catalogs, and I did laminate these ones. The result, a very thick durable purse that almost feels like vinyl. It took me about 5 hours to laminate about 200 pieces and then about 2 hours to fold them, and then another 2 hours to assemble them and make them into a chain and sew it all together. Then I found out I needed to do double that and I'm taking a break because my back and fingers are sore from all the folding. So here it is at the halfway point.

I'll post again when I am done, right now I am trying to decide if I want to make handles out of chains or if I should just go to the craft store and buy some and glue them on. Any ideas?
