I’ve joined an online crafty group called Swap-Bot that is a wonderful place to swap various crafty items with other like-minded crafters. I hosted a swap of late whereby we were all to make a Paper Purse to swap with one another.
The template I found on a paper crafting site was intriguing, and I was inspired by the fact that you can virtually make anything from paper and make it look good!
Here is what I constructed.. card-stock cut into the associated template shape and covered with silk fabric. The raw edges were painstakingly tucked in and secured into place with two way tape. The inside layer of card stock covers the edges and creates a clean line for the inside aesthetics. The result was great!
