All the pages had been cut out.
I almost threw it away, almost. The more I looked at it, the more I started thinking I could use it to make a purse. Yes, a purse.
This project was absolutely a "make my rules up as I go" project because I had a very vague vision of what I was trying to accomplish. I started by hot gluing triangle felt pieces to the sides of the book cover.
I glued two purse straps to the inside cover (one on each side).
I covered the inside with two pieces of felt.
The torn pages were exposed so I glued a strip of felt in the middle.
The inside was done and looked pretty!
I added some felt flowers to the front and a small pocket to the back. My entire project was finished in less than 30 minutes!!
Too bad I'm a grown up and have too much stuff in my purse to trade it in for this fun little bag!

I love this! And it's also one of my very favorite books, ever! The embellishments are awesome -- love the little pocket and the flowers.

Great idea! My daughter would definitely use this on her "shopping" around the house expeditions, and with a toddler I'm sure it won't be too long before we have a book "accidently" missing pages. Nice to know I'll be able to recycle!
Love it! The flowers are such a perfect touch.
It came out so cute! One of a kind, you know no one else will have one of these!
Great idea and SOOOO cute.
