Make this purse.

All you need is:

1. an old clutch or wallet that you're sick of looking at

2. a t-shirt, silk scarf, or even a tea towel that's a pretty colour or pattern

3. scissors, needle & thread, pencil

Then follow the instructions here to make a bunch of rosettes, but obviously instead of putting them on a long string, start sewing them onto the purse. Keep going until it's completely covered with rosettes.
