Media Press Macaron Coin Purse
Just can’t help for not making these sweet little macaron coin purses when one of Craft Passion’s Facebook fans showed them to me. Thanks to XYZZhandmade for her inspiring handmade and some tutorial links in Japanese, this, this, this and this. No, I can’t read Japanese but I can guess from the pictures on how to sew it. Here is the English version of tutorial on how to sew this macaron coin purse where I add more details in the sewing.
The space inside the coin purse is quite limited but good enough to place some small jewelries like ear rings, rings; may be to keep some small coins, folded money; a place to keep small piece of note that wrote your shopping list and reminder etc. Or, simply use it as a key chain or hanging ornament. Or, turn it into something enormously cute, like this.
I have tried both nylon and metal zipper, each gave different feel and effect on the macaron coin purse. Nylon zipper is easy to sew since you can just cut the zipper to the correct length. Zipping and unzipping is easier on nylon zipper too. Aesthetic wise, I like metal zipper though it requires more works to do. If you find zipping on metal zipper is craggy due to small circular shape, rub the zipper’s teeth with some wax or candle, then zip and unzip a few times, you will find zipping is smoother after the waxing.

Beautiful! Will do this during CNY hols and go bonkers with all the beautiful colours and outcome. Thank you for this project to keep me sane during the CNY hols.
Where do you buy your zippers from? Thank you
Hi Grace, I assumed you meant the metal zipper, I bought them from a local quilt shop and from oversea.
Absolutely adorable!
I c. Can you pm me which store so I can get them there too. Thank you.

These are great. I will have to make one.
What a great purse! If you want the directions, download Google Chrome and open the page in it. It’ll offer to translate it and it’s actually decent! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness…this is one of the cutest things ever! I love the fabric you chose to make them!
This is too cute. I love it. In a little bit bigger size can be perfect for headsets.
Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
Really cute.
so cute!
Joanne, I had to share your project again on How About Orange. So cute!

fantastic tutorial and love the idea of using buttons to make these – what a brilliant idea!
These are ridiculously cute!
How fun! Thanks!
Adorable! Now I know why i was hanging on to those 5″ zippers. I am so going to try this!
These are adorable and I love them since I love to bake but I am severely sewing challenged so I’m hoping you will makethem and sell them. Let me know if this is possible.
Thank you.
Would you consider selling these? I can’t make anything crafty, let alone sew! haha I would LOVE to buy one though!!
I wish I have the time to make and sell at the same time. Sorry! May be you can ask someone else to make them for you.
those are so adorable.
Wonderful post och wonderful blog! thank you!
Thanks so much for the English tutorial – when I saw the photos I couldn’t guess what the purse was made from but what a brilliant idea to use a button form! I really will try this – its way to cute!
I came over after seeing someone’s macaron purse and stayed for quite a while looking at your wonderful projects. I got so many ideas! I have to get over my fear of zippers because you have several projects that I would love to try.
love love love this
SO CUTE!!!! Thanks
I’m not very good at sewing (it’s not my favorite thing to do at all – high school home economics trauma lol), but this is seriously cute.
Would it be alright if I shared this at my blog?
Hi Carole, of course you can share a photo in your blog and link back to me for the rest of the details. Thanks
Wow, that’s so cute! I have always wondered how people get zippers to go around in a circle! Thanks heaps for sharing and for the great pictures!
Very clever and very cute – thanks for sharing your idea!
This is really sweet !
Muy bonito…!!!
Translation (by google):
Very nice …!
the cutest project ever! love it!
I cannot believe this is hand-made! So cute. I always receive a lot of compliments on my tiny sock-coin purse, but these may just beat it.
I love the creativity…so cute.
These are incredibly cute, and although I don’t know how to sew, I think this will be my first project. What kind of buttons do I need to use and how big are they? I’m so excited to try this as soon as I get a chance. May I share this link on my blog?
very cute and clever in making….when i saw the photo i was thinking how to put the zipper in such a small circle. Will definately give it a try
thank you for a beautiful post.
These are sooooooooooo cute!!! But alas, I am not a sewer. Do you sell on etsy by chance?
Love, love, love! Thank you for sharing and for the great tutorial. I will pin it!
So pretty!

1 inch is about 2.54cm, so 5″ zipper is about 12.7 cm.
These are beautiful! Can you tell me where you got your fabrics?and the button covers? I love these!
I bought the fabrics from a local handmade shop and button covers from a Japanese dollar store (Daiso).
me gusta mucho lo intentare hacer con los fondos de los spray.
Translation (by Google):
I really like I will try to do with the funds of the spray.
I love this project, I try to do one yesterday and I made a mistake, but I solve it and it’s really cute. I want to ask you if it’s ok to sell the little macarons (I’ll mention you and your web, of course!). Thank you!
As long as it is your own handmade, not the tutorial and pattern, I am fine with it
Thank you!
