\"How<\/p>\n

I’m super excited to share this fun little coin purse DIY<\/strong> that was inspired by a classic Australian party food – Fairy Bread<\/strong>. If you aren’t familiar with fairy bread, it’s buttered white sliced bread sprinkled with 100’s and 1000’s (that’s what we Aussies call rainbow sprinkles).<\/p>\n

It’s a little bit kitschy but I’ve yet to meet a child that doesn’t love Fairy Bread, and of course, as an adult,\u00a0 it brings back many happy memories. Why all the crafty patriotism? Well it’s Australia Day<\/strong> on the 26th of January and I thought it would be a little bit of fun to make a project with an Aussie twist.<\/p>\n

Enjoy making this purse, it’s easier than you think. If you really want to get super creative you could embroider french knots as sprinkles instead of using fabric markers.<\/p>\n

You will need:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 20cm beige zip<\/li>\n
  • 15x15cm beige drill cotton fabric<\/li>\n
  • 15x15cm white cotton fabric<\/li>\n
  • long scrap of light brown fabric (I’ve used corduroy)<\/li>\n
  • beige sewing thread<\/li>\n
  • Assorted fabric markers\/pastels<\/li>\n
  • Sewing machine<\/li>\n
  • Zipper foot<\/li>\n
  • Iron<\/li>\n
  • Scrap fabric (for ironing)<\/li>\n
  • General sewing supplies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \nFrom corduroy cut a long 32cm x 3cm rectangle<\/p>\n

    Sprinkle time<\/strong>

    2. Follow your product guidelines to fix the design. Most require ironing to make design permanent, use scrap fabric to lay over design and iron.<\/p>\n
