DIY - Make Your Own Purse and our Scrap Book Paper Gift

Kids love having their own loot.

  This is the perfect purse to store ALL of their lemonade stand money in!

You probably have everything you need right now

 at home to make this fun hand bag!

Here is what you will need

Mod Podge

Cereal or cracker box

Scrapbook paper ( we used our very own Summer Soiree Paper)

Paint brush

Scissors

Ribbon

Hole Puncher

Now, let's get started...

1.Take box and cut off the top flaps, and fold the sides in

  so that the long sides touch each other.

2. Tear scrapbook paper into small pieces

3.  Cover entire front of box with Mod Podge 

This is fun and easy - perfect for little hands

4. Stick paper scraps to box and cover again with Mod Podge

5. Repeat this step for all 4 sides of the box.

It's OK if the paper overlaps, you can simply glue it down with more Mod Podge.

6.Let dry

7. Cut holes in top of bag for handles. 

Then, hole punch the sides

thread ribbon through the holes on the sides.

and fill with treasure!

8. Have fun!
