Where to find...

[kellyjo32]

I'm knitting a monogrammed felted purse from Paton's book 500210, and they have a change purse in there that I'd like to make to match...unfortunately, I cannot find a change purse clasp anywhere!! Does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this? It needs to be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2. I attached pics of the purse and change purse.

Maybe you can find an old coin purse at a thrift store and remove the purse and keep the finding :)

Might be something here you can use! I searched Google using the terms "purse findings".

I think the second one has exactly what you are looking for right here:

And there are more under "special order".

Make sure you share pics after you make it...and let us know how easy it was or wasn't.
