I’ve been known to rock the occasional eye-catching, animal-shaped purse, so it’s no surprise that this birdie fringe purse from Elsie at A Beautiful Mess caught my eye! This handbag can be made using faux leather or real leather, depending on your preference, and you can personalize the colors and details. To make the construction even easier, Elsie also suggests recycling a skinny leather belt for the strap.
