Turn purse inside out and using a 16 gauge needle or one used for denim in sewing machine and stitch the bottom of the purse together then turn right side out again.
Slather E 6000 glue over the back of the license plate, covering evenly, then glue. At each of the corners where the license plate was attached to the car, poke a hole and insert a brad in each hole to help secure the plate and give it a more professional finish. Allow at least 20 minutes to dry.
On lining, turn right side out and stitch at the bottom. Turn right side out and stitch a decorative ribbon to the top of the lining and using a hot glue gun, glue the lining into the inside of the purse. Glue velcro on to each side of the purse so it will close.
Using E 6000 glue, glue the small toy car to the other side of the purse for decoration. Allow at least 20 minutes to dry.
