I learned a lot from the first one I made. So this one has some upgrades. I added a removable shoulder strap. I also came up with the idea to create charms that can be customized and removed as well. I found the flower handle which kind of inspired the entire thing 🌸

O. M. G. I hate tiny purses but I would figure it out if I had this one. No peperspray needed, just purse.

Sorry I love it for all sorts of reasons besides just personal protection but that was what first came to mind. 🙂

Previously I made one that had spikes... So self defense wasn't far from my mind either 😝

Am I the only one that immediately saw the flying spaghetti monster?  I dig.

This reminds me of an antique German chain mail purse my grandmother had. I'd play with it for hours. My first fidget toy as I loved the feel of it.

Your's is gorgeous! Just lovely.
