Learn how to make customizable paper handbags & purses for a gift bag they won't forget! Confession time. I really love purses! They're such a fun way to finish an outfit. Bonus points if they fit the things I need while looking cute! I had form, function, and FUN in mind while designing my new paper handbags, and purses and they're ready for you! They're a step higher in skill and style from my DIY Gift Bags from a few weeks ago, but are so adorable. I try not to have favorites, but the Daisy Duke Wallet might be the winner. It's perfect for gift cards and fits in well with so many of my small paper box patterns!
These paper handbags may look intimidating, but we'll go over the simple steps together! I've included lots of personalization options and even some special tool versions like a debossed purse!
My collection includes four designer paper purse patterns. But good news, they cost a fraction of the price of a Birkin -- at least from what I've heard. Which one do you want to make first?
