I haven't had much time for sewing but love all the rag purses that are so popular right now. Here's my mini version made from Designer Series Paper, the Box #2 die and the scallop square punch.
The flower is made with the Boho Blossoms punch.
1. Punch 20 scalloped squares from DSP. Make folds at the first scallop. 8 of them need all 4 sides folded, 8 will be folded on 3 sides, 2 on 2 sides and 2 on 1 side.
2. Cut 2 handles 8.5" x 1/4" and glue to a Box #2 cut out as shown.
3. Put some glue on the back of each square and glue them to the box as shown. The end panels get the squares with 1 and 2 folds and the front and back panels get the squares with 3 and 4 folds as shown in the last photo.
4. Fold the box up
5. Open up the scallops and make slits in the scallops with scissors to make it look more raggy if desired.
Jackie - It was so nice to meet you at Starbucks in the Marriot tonight. I am looking for the fabric purse that you had. I love this one too. You are SO creative. Thank you for sharing!

oh my!!! adorable as always...and how very clever! I keep meaning to figure out the rag quilt purse but never quite get there. THIS is definitely "achievable"! Jan
