This is a clutch purse made from a school folder that has double pouches (4 folders for one dollar at the dollar store).
Very simple: Cut left side (when open) down 5 1/2 inches. Score at one inch from the top of the right side. It is closed with self-adhesive velcro dots. Then decorate as you like.
I got the directions/idea from the techniques forum - thanks to "mugsy"! who posted the link to the directions below in a very short video:
I intend to use them as a holder for some blank cards, given as a gift.
My school folders had the "cut away" on one of the folder pouches for a business card, so I made a "Hand Made" stamp - perhaps found in a real purse?
The examples in the video include purses with straps. Very cute. Do view that video. And the purse is so easy!
