Valentine's purse

These little pink purses are so cute to make for valentine's day or birthday parties or luncheons. 

They are made with cardstock, I used this cute new bow wax seal to close the purse. 

I showed how to make these purses about yikes, 10 years ago!

Cut your first piece of cardstock at 6"x 5",

Take your paper and lay it on the 6" side and score each side in at 1".

Then turn it to the 5" side and score in at 2 1/2" on each side.

In the center like you see in the above photo, cut in each side to make the bottom of the purse. 

These pieces were cut with a big shot die, you can cut three

pieces of paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". cutting a 1/2" off each end of two of them.  The third one score at 1/2" in, then 1" more.

Add double back tape on each end of the flaps of the purse

and fold it all together and adhere all sides to close up the base of the purse. 

Punch a hole in the side to add some ribbon for the wristlit.

Here it is all put together.

I added a pink chapstick and candy. 

All filled up

you can see the wristlet on the left

Isn't this wax stamp so cute! Bows are everywhere. 

So sweet....

All done!
