Crochet Coin Purse Assemble

Step 1. Thread the drawstring:

Grab your trusty sewing needle and the drawstring you’ve made. Carefully weave it through the 18th round of the main body. This will create that nifty closure that keeps your coins snug and secure.

Step 2. Create flower pairs:

Time to play matchmaker with your crochet flowers! Pair them up, two by two. A dab of glue will keep each duo together. Think of it as arranging tiny floral bouquets!

Step 3. Attach the base:

Now, let’s give your purse a sturdy foundation. Take that oval piece you’ve crafted and glue it to the bottom of the main body. This adds structure and a professional finish to your purse.

Step 4. Decorate with flair:

Here comes the fun part! Arrange your flower pairs, leaves, and stems on the purse. Play around with the layout until you’re happy, then glue them in place. You’re essentially creating a miniature garden on your purse!
