Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   With the right side of the 12” paper down, bring the corners together and press down the fold at the bottom to form a triangle.

   

2. Step 2

   From the fold, turn up approximately 1/2” and press the fold along the bottom.
   
   Flip the triangle over and turn the 1/2” fold to the other side. Press along the same fold line to reinforce it.
   

   

3. Step 3

   Open up the paper to the inside of the purse. Turn the paper so the fold lines are vertical.
   
   TIP:
   Use grid paper to line up the points and find the center.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Bring both corners with folds up to the center of the paper.

   

5. Step 5

   Fold in a mountain-valley style.

7. Step 6

   Close the purse.
   
   Fold back the corner. Flip and repeat on the other side.
   

   

8. Step 7 (Optional)

   Add a closure of magnetics or Velcro on the inside of the purse.

   

9. Step 8

   Add embellishments to the front of the purse and decorate note cards to tuck inside.
