A new month already, June and Winter is upon us.
The first Challenge i have attacked is for Happy Hour Crafters who Support Beyond Blue
Their Challenge No:1 was to do something with Yellow and Floral.
For this challenge i decide to make a paper handbag from Instruction that where shared in another group.
There are several different You Tube videos to watch on how to make these handbags
PRODUCT USED:
I have used Kaisercraft "Golden Grove Collection" _ Gold Dahlia and two piece of Yellow Card stock, Heart corner punch and 4 Yellow Braids.
ASSEMBLY:
HOW TO MAKE A HANDBAG FOR YOUR CARDS:
REQUIRMENTS:
One sheet of 12 x12 card stock
coordinating paper 12"
x 12"
Either Brads or Gems
Corner Punch
Tombow glue , or glue which you can manoeuvre the pieces to
ensure they stay level when adding around the curves
You can use tape if you want
You can add ribbon instead
if so Either Brads or Gems and Corner Punch
NOT REQUIRED
CUTTING"
Base , Handles ,
inside and outside of the top of bag are cut from 1 sheet of card stock
Base: - 5" x 8" or you can make it 6" x
8"
Handles: - 2 x 1" x 11" (IF USING RIBBION NOT REQUIRED )
Inside and Outside top Rim i
USED A 2" X 12" AND A 2" X 8.5" INSTEAD DOING BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AT SAME TIME
2 x 0.75 x 12"
2 x 0.75 x 8.5"
If you are adding a
bottom rim of coordinating card you will need
1 x 0.75 x 12"
1 x 0.75 x 8.5"
Your coordinating paper
one piece
1 x 5" x 12"
1 x 5 " x
7"
Your paper height can
be 4.5" or 5" or
5.5" which is the depth of your bag
SCORING:
Score base at 1" on all four sides of Base: - 5" x 8"
Score handles at the 0.50" (centre) starting at 1.5" from the
top and then for 8" ( which will
leave you 1.50" at the top and bottom which has not been scored)
ASSEMBLY:
Starting with the base cut each four sides at the start of
score line for 1"
Fold the corners in and glue (This will form the base of
your box)
Corner punch both
ends of the two handles
Add glue to both of
the handles along the score-line only
Fold in half leaving
the top and bottom 1.5" open
Use your bone fold to make a curve and put aside to dry
We are now adding
the outside of the box.
Pick where you will want your seam to be
Glue your 4.5" x
12" piece of paper to the base then overlap 4.5" x 7" piece and continue around the
base till fully covered, overlapping the last piece to the first piece.
Using your 0.75" x 11" piece glue this to the outside of the rim of the bag then overlap the second piece
Complete the inside rim using remaining
your 0.75" x 11 and 0.75" x 8" and continue around the bag till finished
overlapping the last piece to join
If using brads add
the handles now
Centre the handles across the front and back attached using brads
Complete the inside rim using remaining your
0.75" x 11 and 0.75" x 8", this will hide the back of your brads
If just using gems
you can add your handles last
If you wish you can
add a coordinating piece of card stock around the base of your bag you will need
0.75 x 12" and 0.75" 8.5" of your colour choice.
Add embellishments to your bag as you would wish
If using ribbon add them last
