We are having a very simple do-it-yourself project that involves recycling unused baseball caps into a coin purse. The cap that I used for this project is a gave away from some friends. I never used it and why not make it into something more functional.

We need:
Picture
1) A baseball cap.

Picture
2) a cut-out of 8" x 4-1/2".

Picture
trace the paper on the cap then cut through it.

Picture
3) A piece of cloth (the white one).

4) 4-1/2" long zipper and slide.


Now that we have everything that we need, We start off with:
Picture
1) Sew the zippers at both end of the cloth.

2) Add the zipper slide.

3) Fold it as shown in the picture (on the left), measuring an inch from the zipper to one of the folds.

Picture
4) Cut the white piece of cloth into 2" x 5".

5) Fold it as shown in the picture (on the left). With the edges converging at the center. Making quarters.

Picture
6) Turn the purse inside out.

7) Sew the white cloth on the sides (white cloth holding the sides). The white cloth will secure the sides from undoing/loosening.

If you need a clamp to hold the pieces together, do so.

And here we have the finish product.This is the front.
