I'm going to the Salish Lodge with my friends I thought that it would be fun to make these little purses for everyone. Everything is SU! I don't have a pattern for the little boxes but they basically just fold over and were made to fit the tea sachets.
many people have asked for instructions:
These are easy
my little purses are 12X 3 1/2 strip of textured paper. I scored at 3 1/2, 5 1/2 & 9 1/4
the strip inside is scored at 1/2 inch intervals and is 4 inches by 3 inches. I attached the accordian strips to the sides with sticky strip and just embellished as I liked..I used the rectangle punch to make hole for ribbon handles..
I'm glad you like them! I used the velcro dot's from the fabric store to close them (they are self adhesive)
Inside there are beautiful Tea's individually packaged in beautiful cello bags from Xiuxiantea, and hand picked for each of my friends. In the middle is an accordian fold to hold the bags and the card from the tea shop with descriptions of each tea's herbal & flower makeup. They look like individual little sachet's!
The side detail is fun too.. each one the same, yet different.
