Instructions

• Click on this Template Pattern link to download the pattern pdf.
  Print the template and cut it out.
  *Tip: I use clear contact paper to laminate my templates.
  I mark the intersection of score lines by punching a hole with a long-reach 1/8" hole punch so it is easy to transfer the score lines from the pattern to the project.


• Trace the template onto the wrong side of Vivacious paper and cut out the purse.


• Mark the location of the score lines, and using a straight edge (ruler) and scoring tool, score the fold lines.


• Fold on the score lines to form purse.


• Apply glue to the small areas shown in the template and adhere to their neighboring panels to help the purse keep its shape.


• Choose three of the Prima Sprites (I used a large, medium, and small pink sprite)


• Crumple each of the three Sprites.


• Carefully re-open the three Sprites.


• Stack the sprites and use a brad to hold them together.


• Glue the flower to the front of the purse flap.


• Attach magnet snaps to the insde of the purse flap and to the inside of the purse to keep the purse shut.


• With two eyelets, attach a piece of 1/4" wide ribbon or a piece of card stock, 6" long, to the top of the purse for a handle.

The purse can now hold small treats or gifts. I hope you will give making one a try. It is easy, and it's a fun way to give a small gift.
