Carolina's Treat Purse

Carolina's Treat Purse is this week's Demonstrable 3-D Project Demo Challenge over at SCS. It is just the most darling little treat purse! I have big plans for it you know. Go check out the challenge. Carolina has a template and instructions on her blog, Carolina's Creative Pad.

I have pictures for those of you who are like me and need visual help.

8" x 5" cardstock or Designer Series Paper
Score at 3", 3-3/4", and 6-3/4".

Carolina is on vacation in Disneyland and I had to work with the instructions a bit...
I hope you don't mind my twist on things. I have a hobby blade somewhere, but after about an hour of taking my craft bag apart in search of the thing, I decided to improvise...

Fold the short end of the cardstock / DSP and mark the folded side on each end, measured in at 1".

Mark large end of the cardstock / DSP, measured in at 1" on each side.

Using a straight edge and a pencil, connect the scored ends to the marks you just made.

Fold everything up and fold the flap over. Mark where the flap meets the sides of the purse.

Using a straight edge and a pencil, draw the final lines from the sides of the purse to the marked ends of the flap.

Cut out along the lines with a pair of scissors.

Decorate as you please!

Thank you, Carolina, for sharing this adorable treat purse with everyone!
