Book Purse, Try #1

Here's my first attempt at one of those fun book purses people keep making (and which I was so excited to see for sale at a Friends of the Libary store when I was checking out the sites earlier this week).

We picked up a couple more books at the library's book sale today to try later, but here's the first. The handle and fabric is from Michael's. It definitely needs some embellishments...
