 | Cut a lengthened half circle out of the foam sheets (two identical
shapes). We cut ours freehand, but you can trace the template
provided.
|
| Put the sheets together (you can secure with paper clips for the time
being) and punch holes about an inch apart all the way around - but NOT
along the top (straight edge)
|
| Tie a piece of wool or ribbon to the top hole (through both pieces of
foam)
|
| Lace up all the way around
|
| Cut petals from construction paper, foam or felt (we used felt) -- 4 from
a flower color and 2 from a leaf color
|
| Cut a small circle from the scrap foam from the purse
|
| Arrange like a flower and glue to the front of the purse.
|
| Tie on a long string of wool or ribbon as a strap (if you're practicing
braiding with the kids, you can make a braided strap)
|
| OPTIONAL: Tie a few strands of beads onto the purse (the paper beads
look really pretty if you coat them with nail polish!) |
