Default TLC211 Treat Purse {3/9/09}

When I saw THIS project in Julie's (a/k/a reneejul1) blog, I knew that it would be a fun project for the TLC gang. I hope you feel the same way. This project was originally named Valentine Treat Purse, but can easily be adapted for just about any occasion and made to contain just about anything from candy treats to small 3X3 gift cards.

Julie has wonderful directions for this project, which can be found HERE.

In working up my sample for this TLC, I did modify Julie's measurements for the inside. Using Julie's measurement, I felt the box top was higher than I wanted mine. I really wanted to "show off" the goods, so to speak, so I reduced the size to one that fit my needs, and I encourage you to do the same, if you want to. Rather than make cardstock handles, I chose to go with some ribbon handles, but I would love to see what you creative ladies can do with today's project.

To view my sample CLICK HERE or HERE.

To view all the samples for TLC211, CLICK HERE.

...and as always, don't forget to use Keyword TLC211 when you upload your projects.

HINT for next week: A slot, a ribbon and a knot

I may have to try this. I have a class coming up for a homemakers group in a couple weeks and this would be fun to do with them.

You can either tie the handles together, or use a small piece of velcro on the front - holding it to the box on the inside. If you really wanted to get fancy you could always add a magnetic closure.

Ok, I finally got mine done. The scan is terrible though. I wanted to take a picture but the darn battery in my camera was dead! So I just scanned it.
Well, thanks for looking...
