I was recently at a craft fair and there was a booth selling really awesome handmade purses made from hardcover books and gameboards (Scrabble, Monopoly, etc.). Since they were way too expensive for my college student budget, I was wondering if anyone on this site has any information about how I could make book a gameboard purses myself. If you have any idea, let me know!

Thanks,
Melissa

Here are instructions for a book purse

I'd imagine you could adapt these instructions for a game board by cutting the board to roughly the size of book covers and a spine and taping them together with colored duct tape or (even better) gaffer's tape.

And this forum contains instructions and picture of *tons* of purses and bags made from a myriad of materials

Have fun! I have lots of new projects to try after browsing there for an hour!
