Paper Clutch Handbag

Here is the custom made birthday card i made for Melissa. She loves handbags so i thought i'd make a clutch handbag out of paper which will open to reveal birthday wishes and notes inside, signed by all her friends. Its just folded paper block laminated with gold textured wrapping paper. The inside i cut and pasted printed card which i got from the craft shop.... Took me a few attempts and ideas to figure out how to keep the bag closed. in the end i used leftovers to make a button.


The bag (ok ok its a glorified box).......

Release the button....

.... and open.... I glued the card inside after everyone had signed it.
