Woman's Easy Hack Turns Cheap Potholders Into Custom Purse

Looking for a crafty way to spend an afternoon? Why not try your hand at a fun an inexpensive craft that will allow you to create something that you can use every day, like this woman did.

She took a few Walmart potholders and turned them into a fun little bag, giving her the perfect place to stash all that money she saved by making a purse instead of buying one from the store.

And perhaps even better than all that money she saved is how easy it was to do! You don't need much in the way of tools are skills when it comes to putting this design together!

We'd love to know where @upstyledaily got her inspiration for this design, which just calls for four potholders, some yarn, a button, hot glue gun, and a needle and thread. In the end she was able to create a handy little satchel that will be perfect for when you only need something to hold your wallet and cell phone when you're running out the door.

While you're at the super center picking up your supplies to make a potholder purse, you should take a look at some of the other awesome deals that the company currently has on the items you both want and need.

Get Pottery Barn Dupes at a Fraction of the Price

When it comes to scoring the best prices on items that would cost an arm and a leg in a boutique, Walmart may just be our new go-to. That's because the store has a bunch of Pottery Barn lookalikes that are almost as good as the real thing.

But, since they're being sold by the discount retailer, you'll pay pennies on the dollars for some of these items, including the viral chairs that everyone has been drooling over all summer on TikTok!

Walmart Has a Portable Refrigerator

Say goodbye to warm drinks this summer when you pick up the portable mini-fridge from Frigidaire. This appliance is small enough that you can tote it around with you when you're hitting up outdoor parties and backyard BBQs, but big enough that it can keep up to six cans of your favorite beverage chilled, no matter how hot it is outside!

Make a Purse Out of Walmart Potholders

No matter what else you're picking up while in the store, make sure you're definitely grabbing yourself four of those potholders so you can try your hand at making a satchel of your own.

Just think, the next time you go shopping you could be paying for your purchases using all the money you saved by making your handbag instead of buying one!
