Box Purses.

These purses where made with a box base and then you wrap the card stock around it. They are both the same size, just different handles.
The base is 4x21/4 and score 1/2 in. on all 4 sides. Then just make a box out of it.
The wrap is 9x41/2 and score on the short side at 11/2 in.

Fold and glue the 11/2 in. Border to the inside. Then glue the long side of the base in the center of the wrap. Continue until you glued your wrap, to the base, all the way around. Then just decorate.

These are easy to make and hold a few goodies.

A different kind of Purse.

                                      

I've seen this purse on a French blog. I liked it because it's different. So, I thought I could try and make one out of card stock and smaller for just a few candies.

Here's my sample.

This is my first try.

And my second try. I used magnets for the closure and a can tab for the buckle. I also put 3 coats of UTEE on the band.

I think it turned out pretty good.
