To make this purse I used a ‘pillow’. This new design mechanic was brought to light by Holly Chapple and is manufactured by Syndicate Sales. The pillow comes in several sizes and has so many applications: it will make it a lot easier to make arrangements in shallow vases, it is a great base for headpieces, shoulder corsages, small parasols etc… The best part about using it to make a handbag, is that the purse is not only decorative, it can hold a small wallet, keys, a phone and small make-up items. It is a game changer!
