Duct tape purses are the best. Seriously. They can be customized to have exactly the amount of pockets needed and the card slots can be made to be perfectly tight (so ID cards and credit cards aren't lost).
I made this one below for my 3-year-old niece's Christmas present and she absolutely ADORES it. I even put real money in the coin purse and she bought herself some stickers with it. The check out lady at the counter was beyond surprised to see the little girl pull out her own purse and her own money to pay. This would make a great gift for anyone-not just little girls.
Materials Needed:
Cover a sheet of paper with duct tape. Fold into thirds and tape bottom two portions together to form a pocket. The third portion will form the flap. Fold until it looks pretty and tape. Done.
Add a bit of tape to make the flap stick if desired.
Also, if the tape keeps sticking to the scissors and makes them too stick to cut straight, take a bit of nailpolish remover or rubbing alcohol on a cotton and swipe the blades with them to get the goo off.

Materials Needed:
- scissors (sharp scissors)
- duct tape (the funkier the design, the better!)
- paper (use scrap paper/recycle some paper)
- creativity

For more complicated purses, you can make extra pockets or made custom sized card holder pockets, like this one I made a few years ago:
