Lovin' this purse!

I am loving this new purse! 

Here are just a few more ...

It is so easy to make! All you need is the Envelope Punch Board, paper (12" x 12" and 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"), the Word Window punch, scissors, adhesive, ribbon, and buttons.

Directions:

• On sides 1 and 3 of your paper, punch and score at 1 1/2" - go easy as you score down because the paper will go over the punch board; you will match up another score line later so there will be a full line from one side to the other
• On sides 2 and 4 of your paper, punch and score at 5"
• Turn your paper over and with the first punch at 1 1/2" to your left, repeat the steps above
• Turn your paper over - with large tab to your right, line up the punch at 2 5/8" then punch and score
• Do the same thing on the opposite side of the paper
• Look at your score lines and make sure there is a score line between all punches - if not, add the needed score lines
• Round all tabs
• Fold on all score lines
• Cut on lines on either side of the large tabs
• On the second score line from the large tabs (must be done on both sides), use the Word Window punch and punch out space so you can fit a large tab through (see picture) - if you do not have the Word Window punch, you can cut this space out with a pair of scissors

• Fold the small tabs towards the outside and affix with adhesive
• Place adhesive on the triangle portions and fold in to make your "bag"
• Use glue dots to affix your ribbon on either side of the inside of the bag
• Use glue dots to affix buttons to the side and on one large tab
• Round the corners on the 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" piece of cardstock and affix behind the large tab with the button
• Fold the tab with the button into the hole (made with the Word Window punch/scissors) from inside out
• Fold the remaining tab into the hole on the other side
• Viola! You have a cute little purse to hold all kinds of goodies - cards with envelopes, sweet treats, jewelry, small gifts, pencil with small pad of paper, 8 pack of crayons with small pad of paper (this is what my daughter did for church on Sunday with the purse I made for her), etc

I hope you enjoy making these as much as I have!

Have a great day! ツ
