For You Purse by Lisa Dorsey

"This sweet little purse was so much fun to make. When I create projects, sometimes I like to mimic elements from the pattern paper that I am using. That is what I did here. I loved the simple flowers that were part of this paper so I decided to recreate one of them for my purse."

Step 1: Start by using your red marker to draw in stitching around the outside edges of the purse. Don't worry if you make a mistake. A little nail polish remover will take permanent marker of most surfaces.




















Step 2: Using your scallop scissors, cut a strip of pattern paper. In order to cut a straight line, use a ruler to draw a straight line on the back of the paper.
Then use the line as a guide to help you cut a straight line. If you don't have a scalloped scissors use a piece of paper with a scalloped edge as a template and draw the scallops on the back of your pattern paper and cut out. Use the small hole punch to punch a circle in the center of each scallop. Attach two scalloped edge strips to the bottom of the purse, one on the front and one on the bottom.




















Step 3: Cut a 1 ¾ inch stem from the green cardstock and one leaf. To cut the stem, simply cut a thin strip with a V at the top. U
se the ¼ inch hole punch and punch two red dots from the red cardstock. Punch three smaller holes from the red also; Assemble to create the flower.

Step 4: Print or stamp a sentiment on cardstock and cut into tag; hang on bag with gingham ribbon.
