Mini Purses

These little mini purses are great for favors or as a little thank you.  I gave them to my stamp club members this month.  They loved them and couldn’t be easier to make!

Now I didn’t have matching ribbon for all the colors, so I used the Organza ribbon and colored it with the Stampin Write markers.  This is a great technique and the organza ribbon is perfect for it.  I colored both sides of the ribbon and it came out very bright and vibrant.  You just want to make sure you let it dry before you use them.

For the purses you need to cut a strip of cardstock (or DSP) 5 x 1.5 and then score it at 1.5, 2.5 and 4.  After this I ran the pieces in an embossing folder through my big shot.  If you want you can then use your corner rounder punch to round out the 2 sides.  (I actually found just using my scissors to do it was just as easy since it is so small)

You then use your hole punch to punch 2 holes on the top peak to put your ribbon through.  You can then just tape the ribbon ends down to the other side since this part won’t be shown anyway.  I used about 4 inches of ribbon for each purse.

I used my piercing tool to pierce a small hole to insert my brad. 

Avery labels 5150 fit these little Hershey nuggets perfect but if you don’t have them just cut your paper to 1 x 2 5/8.  I stamped the 4 you using the matching inks and then wrapped my nuggets.  They slide into the little purse perfectly!

These take no time at all and are just so adorable! 

Tomorrow I will post another project using this stamp set~ but it is on a card not chocolate.  There are many other great uses for this stamp set and is quickly becoming one of my favorite sets!

Thanks for stopping by!
