Although purists may react with horror, I love using my stuff in different ways. This purse was made from an actual record album, front and back. And although I've seen album purses done in different ways, this is the best one yet!
The actual cardboard cover is lined inside with an adhesive paper (Contact Paper?), a fabric insert (gusset) was put on the sides and bottom so that the purse is about 2 1/2" deep and will sit flat.

Virtually everytime I carry this purse, I get loads of comments. Folks want to know if I made it or how it was made. No, I didn't make it, it was found at an Arts and Crafts Show, made by a crafter in Texas.

The purse was around $60. I also purchased an Alvin and the Three Chipmunks Christmas Album made as a purse. It's terrific too!
