Re-Purposed Rugby Ball

I have a few rugby balls that either will not hold air any more or are so slick that we never use them at practice. Many end up becoming toys for dogs of friends and family. I remember turning a basketball into a mask for a project in middle school and was trying to think of what else I could do with a rugby ball.

The end result was a handbag! A few ideas for adjustments keep popping up. I have one friend who has requested a bag from a special ball made for our college alma mater. Will see what the future holds!
