Directions: |
|

 |
Step 1A: Stamp on one side of
template with your choice of stamps.
Step 1B: If you want to do
the Burnishing technique - just take a sponge and ink it up and rub
- literally grind the ink into the paper.
Also - if you're totally bead crazy
like me you can cut a sheet of O’So Sticky Tape the same as the
template and bead the whole darn thing. |

 |
Step 2A: Put ATG or similar
adhesive on the back of the Post-It-Notes and stick in middle
(lengthwise and widthwise) of template.
Step 2B: Fold template over
P-I-N so that larger section is on the bottom and smaller section is
on the top and make creases where edges are (top and bottom). |
 |
Step 3: Stamp a coordinating
image on a separate 1 inch or smaller square of paper and mount on
coordinating color. Cut O’So Sticky Tape same size as mounted image
and bead with clear or translucent colors.
 |
 |
Step 4: Mount beaded square
on top (smaller) flap with ATG or similar adhesive leaving about 1/3
hanging over the edge. |

 |
Step 5: Now here's the tricky
part... take the Velcro dot and put both sides together - Velcro
together with sticky parts on outside. Then peel one side off
exposing sticky and stick to top flap. Leaving dots together peel
other sticky off and close the flap - making sure to position the
way you want it to look when the purse is closed. And voila - dots
match up perfectly and now purse will open and close time and time
again. |

 |
Step 6A: Punch two holes,
fairly evenly spaced, in the top crease of the Purse (this nifty
little option was devised by Cyndee Rust - my thanks - it looks way
cooler).
Step 6B: Thread ribbon
through each hole and secure with ATG or similar adhesive on inside
crease of Purse. |
|
Step 7: Admire your work for a
long time - being sure to ooooooh and aaaaaah a lot! |
