Pop-Open Little Purse!

Today, I have a very cute little stitch and glue craft to show off!  A friend of mine show this to me and I’m addicted to it immediately!  It’s so fun, cheap and easy to do and  the result is cute and useful !!! Love it!

Jojo have been complaining about her coin purse is spoilt and asking for a new one..and this “Pop” purse craft just came in very handy!

Now, let get started :-

Get a stiff cardboard (I recycle a mushroom packing box)

and cut a shape like the picture – you can be creative after this tutorial…

The cardboard have to be stiff and flexible enough for

a nice curve bend when you press it this way!

 

Cut 3 pieces of the cardboard – exactly the same shape and size.

 

Wrap a piece of rag / clothes..felt with be a good choice

but I don’t have any and it’s very expensive here..

You make wrap it with double side tape, glue gun, anything

that is friendly to handle.

 

This is the front look like after gluing.

 

I cover the raw edge at inside with duck-tape..

You may sew another piece of clothes for the lining…

but I’m not good in sewing..so, this is my best option..

 

After done above step with the all 3 pieces…

Take two of them and sew up the side..

the inner side is facing each other..

You will get a small pocket like this.. continue connect

the other piece with one line of stitch too.

Remember not to close up the whole thing…

After you done with the third piece, you will

find a nice triangle piece of purse that will open

when you press on both ends..

and the ‘Pop Open’ purse is done…

 

This part I add up myself…I think it will be cuter if

I spice up a bit and

change the purse into

Jojo is overjoyed with the new purse…

While I am on my wayto make another ‘mouse’…
