It is a little purse that holds a Hershey Nugget size candy bar. Mine have Hershey with Almond in them. I played around with a few different techniques in making different textures on the strip of cardstock that is used to make the purse. I made some with just stamping and some with stamping and adding clear embossing powder for a patent leather look. I also added glitter to some. Some have bigger polka dots and others tiny polka dots. Even a patterned paper made a cute purse. I hope you enjoy them.
Directions:
1. Cut a 1 1/2" x 5" piece of card stock
2. Score at 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 4" fold on each line.
3. The end with the 4" score line is the flap (the shorter end) use a 1/4" corner rounder to round those two edges.
4. Decorate your card stock strip anyway you want.
5. Punch a 1/8" hole right on the 4" score line close to the edge on both sides. This is to make your purse handle.
6. Take a piece of ribbon and place an end in each hole. Tie a knot on the inside and trim close to knot. Make your handle so it stands up. Not to long not to short.
7. Cut a 1/4" x 5 1/8" strip and start at one end and fold it at each of the folds of the purse. Glue down the center of your strip. I don't pre score because it doesn't exactly line up.
8. I used a flower and brad for my purse closure. Use a piercer and poke a hole throgh both layers and insert your flower and brad.
9. Take a nugget size candy bar and place a glue dot on the bottom and place centered inside the purse.
Have fun making some of your own.
I just LOVE these little purses!!!
