DIY Coin Purse
This tutorial will show you how to make a DIY Coin Purse. Quick and easy projects … aren’t they the best kind? This week’s tutorial can be whipped up in less than 15 minutes, and I bet you can find 15 ways to use a cute zippered pouch, too!
Instructions for DIY Coin Purse with Carte Postale Fabric
Supplies for DIY Coin Purse:
First, iron your transfer onto your fabric. Print the graphic on the transfer paper, then iron according to the directions on the package.
This is the Iron on Transfer Paper that we recommend at TGF, it’s the best that we have found by far!! Your projects will turn out so much nicer and it’s super easy to use!
Start the pouch by sewing the zipper onto the pieces, face side together. For hints on how to install a zipper, you can visit my blog to see my zippered pillow cover tutorial (the steps are the same.)
Turn it out and you’re done with your adorable Carte Postale Zippered Pouch! It’s cute enough to use as a little clutch when you only need a few essentials. The transfer material makes it feel somewhat like oilcloth – but the bonus is you can make your own “fabric” simply by using graphics!

Where can I purchase the Artists Transfer Paper?
Karen Watson says
Rae Ann, I’m afraid our recommended Transfer Paper “Tap” is out of stock right now. The manufacturer is trying to come up with a new formula, as they are not able to get ahold of one of the key ingredients anymore. We hope they will make it again soon!
Judy says
Do you use the reverse image to copy onto the transfer paper and then when ironed onto the fabric it is the right way?
graphicsfairy says
Yes Judy, you need to do it reverse whenever there are words or they are backwards once you iron them on. Images you can get away with, but they to are reversed.
Mia says
What a great idea! Lovely zippered pouch!

THanks so much Mia, I am so happy you like it!
Charlene says
I am not sure how to enlarge my print. Could you tell me what percentage to enlarge? With a 8″ zipper, the design appears too small at 100%.
graphicsfairy says
Hi Charlene, this post was done by my friend Gina over at The Shabby Creek Cottage, it looks to me like she just did it at 100 percent. Maybe print it out and then see if the zipper fits? Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful 🙂 Good luck!
