Diy skull purse for your Halloween soul

Hello today i'm making a set of halloween inspired diy skull purses. I used a non sew method using e6000 and a needle and thread method.
The supplies are as follows;
Skull from dollar tree or 99 cent only store, zipper for head opening, e6000, needle & thread, Picture frame kit, leather rivet setter set, optional jewels/marbles, optional lining fabric, Thrifted/make a bag strap
some recommended tools Scalpel, drill/awl, pliers/hammer
My conclusions for this project is that I do not reccomend using E6000 because I found it difficult to zip up that paticular skull afterward. The zippers that were sewn were more durable I used a thick thread for strength. If I were to do this project again I would try to get a skull with an attached jaw for extra room. Also I would make my zipper tape bigger so that my phone could fit in it with the case on.
If you decide to make this I would love to see it, my instagram handle is MintGreenSewing.
Thank you for your support :)

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. I love my Skulls. To Dollar Tree 🌴 I go😄

[@MintGreenSewing]

Yes! Such a spooky vibe too 😁 and you can always borrow a purse strap from a spare purse. The dollar tree one was a lot easier to cut into as well.

Totally cool. Never seen anything like this.

I actually got the idea from Amazon because there's a pleather bag for $70 and I've had it on my list for a hot minute but I took a look at my dollar stores and I was like bingo! Upon further investigation I found other people have made these before but only after I had did it 😅

I have trouble with drawing curved lines (like the ones to cut the scull top off) I bet taping a piece of string in the middle to the forehead, then around the sides & taping again on the back, woukd make a great guide & youd be able to make ajustments before tracing & cutting to make sure the sides were equal

[@MintGreenSewing]

I feel like that sounds like a great idea it was definitely a little wobbly for me too. Maybe if you have a protactor like the measuring tool you could flip the skull upside down and put the one side flat on a table and then mark away by turning the skull instead of the pencil so no wobbling 😊. Or if you don't have one of those same method using pencils tied next to each other kind of like how other youtuber sewing channels mark seam allowance when they can't find the seam guide. Let me know if that makes sense I hope it helps. 😅

Melt holes with hot glue gun tip or hot soldering iron- BUT...DON'T BREATHE THE FUMES!
