The Dance Pad Purse
My original dance pad broke, so I decided to cut it up to see what was inside. The top layer was actually pretty, so I thought it would make a cool purse. Literally. Hah!
Check out the photos documenting how I made it.

If you thought that was cool, I also made tech jewelry from electronic components as Zelle, which you can find here: Zelle Jewelry at Fractalspin.
