Having made a start on my previous box/come flower holder, I got on to making some handbags to make pretty wrappings for little gifts.
This was super simple to make so made a few!
All the DP is from American crafts with the solid cardstock from PTI or American Crafts also. I used the Top Note die to make the fake fastener and a large fabric covered brad for this one with ribbon tied from back to front and around the brad to hold the top together.
The two below have slightly different fasteners. I used a strip of cardstock, fixed at the back with double sided tape and then some stick and stick velcro tabs to the underside of the front and stuck a button on top. I used a white pen to make the fake stitching. They are pretty sturdy and will hold quite a lot. I filled one with bottles of bath salts, foam, face wash and clenser and it still held its shape when I picked up the bag by the handles.
I can put together some simple instructions and will post if anyone is interested.
Be crafty!
