Purse Tutorial



Purse Tutorial for 3" x 3" Notecards


Supplies:

Cardstock

Stamps, DSP or other products to decorate your finished project

Word Window Punch

Corner Rounder Punch

Score-Pal or Bone Folder & Paper Cutter

Sticky Strip

Brads

Hole Punch or Mat Pack & Paper Piercer


Dimensions:
1- 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"Purse Base
2- 8 1/2" x 5/8" handles
1- 3" x 1 1/2" closure
2- 5 1/4" x 3 pockets


Score the Purse Base at 3 5/8" from both ends. Punch with the Word Window Punch at the center of one end. (This will be the front of your purse.)

Score the Closure at 3/4" and 2". Then round the edges of the remaining 1" section with your Corner Rounder.

Score your Pocket Pieces at 1/2" and 1" on the bottom (5 1/4") side and both 3" sides.
Trim away excess and fold the score lines.
Using Sticky Strip, make the pocket.
Attach pockets at the score lines on the Purse base.
Add the closure to the back of the purse.


Decorate the front and back of your purse as desired. The DSP is 3 x 3 1/8" and the Certainly Celery mat is 3 1/4" x 3 3/8". ****When attaching cardstock or paper to the front remember not to use adhesive where your closure is. ****
To add handles first attach them with sticky strip or strong adhesive--much easier to work with this way. Last add your brads to keep them in place.
The pockets can old about 4-6 cards depending on what embellishments you add or how thick the cards are.
Have fun! :)
