Top Note Clutch Purse

After hours and hours of cleaning and organizing- I found a little time yesterday to craft!!! My room is still a bit messy. But I have taken lots of stuff out so I should be able to find a home for all the stuff that is currently littering my desk and floor!!!


Tomorrow, I am supposed to bring the ladies at my MOPS table a little gift. The theme of the gift is "something girly." My co table leader got them some lip gloss and nail polish and asked if I could make a box. Of course!!!! I think this top note clutch purse will fir the gift perfectly and it is very girly!!!



I used some tiny little maganets by Basid Grey to keep the purse closed...



Isn't that fun?!!!!


I have seen lots of little purses and boxes in blogland- but I made mine up from my own crazy head. So here are the demensions.


-Start with a piece of cardstock that is 5x6


-Score along the 6 inch side at 1inch and 5 inches


-Score along the 5 inch side at 2 and 3


-Use sticky strip to put the box together.


-Use the Top Note die to cut the lid from DSP


-Score the top note at approx. 1 1/4 and 2 1/4


-Add large eyelets and a ribbon handle to the center of the top note


-Adhere to the back of the box with sticky strip.


-Add a small magnet to keep the purse closed.


-Decorate if desired!!!

Sorry for the delay, but I still have to make 8 more of these purses, go grocery shopping, etc. etc.
