The coin purse is something that's always with us on our daily lives. We use coin purse when shopping, going to work or even attending school. The purpose of the coin purse is to exclude coins from the entire money so it wouldn't be too difficult to get if you have to pay coins especially if you're going to pay the fare because there are drivers who doesn't give change due to lacking of coins. So we always carry a coin purse wherever we go. By doing this, we don't need to shake the entire bag or wallet to see if there were coins inside. This post will teach you how to make a coin purse from recycled waste materials.
When sending my kids to school, I always make sure that they have enough coins to pay for their needs like fare, food and drinks. My kids are too shy to ask for a change for their money if they had to, so I should always give them coins for them to pay just enough for a certain thing or service they needed. This is why they always have a coin purse hanged on their shoulders. It's just a simple DIY procedure for recycled coin purse that I made from used old clothes that looks like just a necklace. I just put an ID holder to make sure that the recycled coin purse wouldn't be lost or misplaced because most kids are too careless when handling money so we should assist them and teach them how to be careful with it.

I made these two designs of recycled coin purses , the red is the one I made for my girl. The materials I used here is the left-over cloth from my bed sheet. The blue one is the purse I made for my boy. The materials I used here is the left-over fabric of my husband's used old pants which I cut long ago to make a short pants. Don't forget to add holder for each coin purse so you can add a neck tie to hang the purse on their neck so it wouldn't be lost or misplaced.
