Once, a long time ago, there was a segment on Carol Duvall where they made a purse with two clear acrylic frames and some hardware to make a hinge. I'm sure if you go to
www.hgtv.com and try a search, you'll find it.
Of course if you're like me, you'll get very sidetracked by all the other matches that may come up, and spend an hour online printing out directions to 40 other cool projects!
