A Back to School Project for a Teacher!

I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this but I was excited to share it with you all, this cute and easy origami style handbag can be used for any occasion or a just because gift bag.  It is simple and easy to do, and I will be making more of them on my postings to share.   They are just the perfect size and can hold a lot in this 12 x 12 cardstock... Their is absolutely no cutting involved, on one side you just score 3" x 3" turn it the other way and score it at 5" x 5", I took a 6" x 6" designer's paper and scored it 5" so that it would flap over, punched out my holes with my Crop-A-Dile, added brads for the handle.  For the handle I cut two strips of 1/2" x 12" cardstock.  I also had a lot of my already made apples that I did on a previous postings using my Create a Critter cartridge.   I try to keep a stash of each project using my Cricut so that I have them handy when I need them.  And last I used my Spell binder Flora Doily Motifs.  Now was this simple or not....  This handbag is so versatile then you can embellish it  how ever you want it.  

I hope this project inspired you, I would like for you to try it out you will be amazed how quick and simple it easy... Can't wait to see your creation on this project!
Thanks for popping in~
