Recycle: Wooden Purse


This wooden container was something I got from a friend on Christmas, filled with a set of papers with different patterns and colors. Once it was empty, I knew right away it had the potencial to become a purse.

If you have one of these, despite the unlimited possibilities of reutilization, you can give it a touch of your ouwn. All you need is a permanet marker and something to varnish the wood in the end.

1- Choose the patterns you want to draw and, if you lack experience, transfer them to the surface of the container first with a pencil. 

2 - Fill them very carefully with the black permanent marker. 
3 - Once you're done, let it dry (you can check it when you touch it , if your fingers are left with ink residues, you have to wait a little longer).
4 - Apply the varnishment (one or two layers). If your wood container is too thin, I advise using a varnish product that also has hardening properties.

I know it's hard to find this containers, mine was bought in Germany, but a recycling project is supposed to be versatile. Like that, you can make this on fabric purses or even leather ones. All you have to do is adjust your marker to the surface you want to cover and make sure it's strong enough to not get ruined by the marker itself.

Have fun, Joana
