Cute Purse Party Favor Plus Sneak Peeks

This is a party favor bag ... it's 3 1/2" x 2" x 6 3/4". I found them packs of 16 for $2.50 at a local store. I cut off the bottom just above 2" (which is just above the fold). Use the top part for the 1st project and the bottom for the 2nd project below:


Using Sticky Strip, I adhered the bottom to form a new bag. Then decorated. Just couldn't throw the top part away. This one is filled with wrapped lifesaver candies.

Tasteful Trim Big Z XL Die, item #120893


Next I took the bottom part and glued it to 2 top note die cuts (Big Shot) that I had used the large oval punch to cut out an opening to form a handle. Lots of room to fill with a goodie, place a small gift, or ????

Decorated the little purse with rhinestones, ribbon, and a trim (Big Shot). Stampin' Up! now sells rhinestones and half pearls. They both are self adhesive.

I first saw the purse idea done by Mickey Roberts. After seeing hers, I had to create one of my own and make it unique.
