No Sew Heart Coin Purse

Who doesn't need a little heart coin purse to stash some spare change?  This one is super easy to make because you don't need a sewing machine......only my favorite, awesome, magic glue!  The best part about this little purse is that you can make it any size and shape and the chain is optional.  Make a star, a cat, even a big floppy square.  It's all about how it comes together.  Make sure to check out the video if you get a chance.  Have fun, make messes and don't forget to Make Your Mark! 
xoxo, Mark

  3. Very cute. I am going to try and make this. Can I use tacky glue for this project?

    1. Hi Pattie, E-6000 is truly the only glue that will really work for this project. I've used Tacky Glue and it's a water based glue and I'm afraid it would not hold as well.

  4. I truly love the step by step. E6000 is the glue! I am hooked! Or zipped up with E6000!
