I was at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago and spotted this handbag there. The price on it was $3.99, but I had a 30% coupon off my total purchase and I found a couple other items to buy too. So this bag cost me $2.80 (plus sales tax). I took the bag apart because the reason I bought it was for all those rings, 34 rings in all; plus I can use the zipper and the magnetic snap again also. Score! I will be able to make quite a few handbags using those rings. I have black D-rings and bronze colored D-rings already, so now I have silver round rings and should be able to choose the best color ring to go with whatever fabric I am using.

| Look at all those rings and rivets. Too bad I cannot reuse the rivets! |

| After removing what I could reuse from the handbag I ended up with this: 34 rings, a zipper for a pocket and a magnetic snap. |

| 34 rings should last me a while. They ended up costing me less than 9 cents apiece including sales tax! |
