This is a no-sew purse I created from a jean pocket as a birthday gift.
To make one, just cut a pocket from an old pair of jeans (if you don't have a pair - pick some up from a thrift store), and add embellishments with a hot glue gun.
For this purse, I added purple ribbon topped with sequin trim, pink leather flowers, clear gems, silver braided cord embellished with a bow, charm, and sandal buttons (back cut off first), pink ribbon to the raw edge on the top back, and lavender ribbon for the "handle".

You can also use jean pockets as refrigerator magnets to use for your shopping list. Just decorate with trims/findings you have on hand, glue a magnet on the back (magnetic strip, or several small round magnets), then insert pen/pencil and VOILA! You have a fun shopping list holder!
