Lunch Bag Purse

I was inspired to create this cute Paper Bag Purse after seeing it posted to one of the groups I belong to. It was a fun way to use up some scraps, and I got to use the new May Stamp of the Month again!

Here are the directions if you'd like to make you own!

(This was shared by a fellow CTMH consultant, Pam Jarett)

1. Cut a lunch sack to 5 inches.

2. Cut pieces of cardstock 5 1/4 x 5 1/2 for the front and the back

3. Cut two pieces of B&T 4 3/4 x 5 and adhere to the cardstock.

4. Cut one piece of cardstock 1 x 5.

5 Cut coordinating B&T 3/4 x 5 and adhere it to the one inch strip.

6. Adhere the one inch strip to the front.

7. Cut two one inch squares of cardstock. Round the corners of two opposite sides. Cut diagonally to the corners that were not rounded. Adhere in the top corners of the front and back.

8. Handles--2 1/2 x 12 cardstock pieces. Cut two 1/4 x 12 inch pieces of B&T.Attach B&T to cardstock.

9. Glue front and back on to sack. Using a piercing tool attach handles with brads and decorate the front of your purse.
