I made these fun totes for my nieces, I thought they would be perfect to tuck a gift card in. 3x3" note cards would also fit in these, which would make a fun gift too!! I got the idea from my friend Kerri, who sent me one along with the directions on how to make them. The direction say they were from Donna Matoi...so Donna if you have a blog, let me know and I will link you!!!
I used the new raspberry tart DSP that will be available from SU in January...very fun and bright paper, perfect for my nieces!! I have put together a picture tutorial on how to make them if you would like to give it a try too!
I used the new raspberry tart DSP that will be available from SU in January...very fun and bright paper, perfect for my nieces!! I have put together a picture tutorial on how to make them if you would like to give it a try too!
First, score a 12"x12" double sided piece of DSP at 1", 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" and 11". Then turn the paper and score at 3 1/2" and 8 1/2".
Next, fold and glue down the scored 1" flap on both sides. 
Then, fold at the 6" score mark and punch 2 - 3/16" holes at 4 1/2" and 7 1/2".
Open the fold and set the 4 jumbo eyelets.
Fold at the 3 1/2" and 8 1/2" scored lines.
Then fold at the remaining scored lines, making valley and mountains.
Punch a 1/8" hole in the center of the tote, and then set a small eyelet to keep it together (I also placed a brad within they eyelet to make it look like a button of snap.
Add ribbon for handles and embellish however you choose!
These are just way too easy and fun to make! I really hope my nieces like them...they should since they are 11 and 9 and LOVE purses!!
