I have a bunch of these Jeep owners manual pouches in varying styles , and thought they’d make great small purses if someone can add a strap, or a clutch as is.

Probably worth more as a kitschy project than an actual owners manual pouch.

Man I’d take a couple for storing maps or cables or something. You know what would be even better? sewing some velcro to the backs and making something like this

Sounds like a job for a nail gun.

How about using fabric rivets?

How large are they? I might be interested in turning one into a sporran for my hiking kilt.

Hmm, about the size of your average manual, about 10x6x2 I'd say

Add a strap (the fabric rivets are a good idea), a patch ( https://www.ebay.com/bhp/jeep-patch ) , and sell on Etsy for $200. Go!
