Adult-High School–With this title, teens can create a funky felt purse or make one from an old book, or decorate an old handbag.

This same type of information, in simpler language and on a smaller scale, is provided in Haab’s The Hip Handbag Book: 25 Easy-to-Make Totes, Purses, and Bags (Watson-Guptill, 2004).
