PURSE:
1) Cut a 2 inch strip off of one side of a 12x12" Mia's Starburst paper so the dimensions are now 10x12. Measure over 2 inches off of each side LENGTHwise- and score.
2) Then measure down 5 inches off of each side on the WIDTHwise- and score. You should now have an "H" image with the scoring.
3) On each side you have now created a "box". Cut a straight line horizontally in the middle of that "box" until your hit the LENGTHwise score. Do this on each side. Each cut should be 2 inches long.
4) Now cut on the LENGTHwise score where the "H" meets. You will be cutting Veritcally now and your cut will again be 2 inches long. You've now created a "T" cut on each side.
5) Once all the scoring and cutting are complete- you can now fold all the edges and glue the pieces together to form the purse.
6) You now have it all glued. Using the 2 inch strip you cut off in the beginning, cut (2) 1/2 inch strips to create the handles of the purse and glue.
7) Decorate with coordinating stickers,paper, and ribbon.
MINI ALBUM:
1) Cut a piece of chipboard 4 1/2 in x 4 in. You will need 2 of these pieces.
2) Measure over 1/2 in from one of the sides and score. Do this to both pieces. (on the same side of course!)
3) Punch 2 holes in each piece for the ribbon to hold the album together.
4) Cut as many sheets of 4x4 1/2 in pieces as you want.
5) On each sheet- measure over 1/2 and score. Also be punching holes to match the covers.
6) Adhere paper to covers and use ribbon to tie the album together.
7) Decorate and alter with Mia's paper and stickers.
