I haven’t used the Petite Purse Die in a while so I decided to try something using the Burlap Ribbon. It turned out as well as I pictured it! I also used a leaf left over from my Autumn Wreath! Try making one for yourself or as a gift for someone.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Crushed Curry card stock with your Petite Purse Die and Big Shot. Fold all score lines except for the Purse Flap. Put Sticky Strip on the thin tabs and assemble your Purse.
2. Cut a leaf out of the Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (or card stock) and adhere it to the front of your Purse.
3. Attach a Baked Brown Sugar In Color Boutique Details inside a large Naturals Button with Glue Dots. Attach to Purse front with Glue Dots.
4. Cut two pieces of Burlap Ribbon at 3-1/2″ and two at 3″. Trim along the sides leaving about 1-1/2″ untrimmed. Remove the short strands from the Burlap Ribbon until the bottom 1-1/2″ which will remain Ribbon. Repeat for all pieces of Burlap Ribbon. Keep the 3″ and the 3-1/2″ separate, as the 3-1/2″ will go in the back withe the 3″ in the front.
5. Take the two pieces of 3-1/2″ Frayed Burlap Ribbon and hold them up to the front of the Purse. Use a Dimensional to overlap them so they are the same width as the Purse opening at the top. Repeat with the 3″ Frayed Burlap Ribbons. Attach 2 more Dimensionals to the front of these Burlap Ribbons and two to the back. Adhere the 3-1/2″ Ribbons to the back of the 3″ Ribbons. Now attach the Ribbons to the inside front of the purse with the Dimensionals. Fluff up your Frayed Ribbons so they resemble wheat or grass. Trim frayed tops even if desired. I did not trim mine.
6. If you want to attach the Handle to the Purse, do so now using Glue Dots on the ends of the Handle and attach to the inside of the Purse.
7. Admire your fun Fall Petite Purse! Place it somewhere to add a touch of Fall to your home!
Happy Fall Decorating!
