Board Game Purses

I have never made a gameboard purse but I make book purses as part of my company called Artfully Altered where everything I make is from something repurposed. Just by removing the pages and measuring a piece of fabric to go on each end (the size of the fabric will determine how wide your purse will open) lining the inside with fabric and adding whatever kind of handle you want you can make a very simple book purse. After that its up to you how you'd like to switch it up or embellish it.

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!
