Awesome alternative to a boring purse
I created a harness with up cycled things I found in thrift stores using leather, and hardware from other purses and belts. I punched holes using leather punch and used rivets to attach pieces together. I added some hand stitched embellishment to add a pop of color. I also used snaps to make the flaps on pockets close securely. Oval metal ring from an old purse for holding keys. Adding extra pockets to outside of pockets also give a quick spot for cellphone access. I love mine I can't do purses ever again. My hands are finally free!
