I hope you all had a fabulous week! I have been a little busy trying to get some Valentine's decorations/projects done. So FUN!!
For today's project I made a purse gift bag. My daughter's friend is turning 16 next week and her birthday party is tonight! I was You Tube hopping for some neat craft ideas and I stumbled upon hers. I used her ideas but adjusted for my measurements. You can find the video tutorial HERE.
This is the front of the purse. It already has the gift in it!
EEK!
The back side
The over lap to close the purse
I had SO much fun making this!! It really was very easy. You do not need a cricut, but I wanted to put a little flourish on it.
To make this I used:
Cart ~ Gypsy Wanderings for flourish; it was sized on my Gypsy
Paper ~ Colorbok for the plain black; Designer paper from Hobby Lobby
Misc. ~ SU bold bright pink passion to ink on the zebra pattern; ribbon from my stash; velcro sticky back to "clasp" the purse; crop-a-dile for hole punches, and a brown paper lunch bag.
I think I will be making more of these!!
