I created this for a friend who is auctioning off an altered purse for a diabetes fundraiser (www.myspace.com/sacredsnatch).

I took an old eyeglasses case, removed the liner, glued on some fabric, replaced the liner (and added a label), then sealed the whole thing with several layers of varnish (optional).

This could also be done (on a hard case) with decoupage medium and papers.
