An Accordian purse card holder with tutorial

If you are like me, there comes times when I am in a bind for a quick gift. This handy little project will be just the thing you need. It is quick and easy to make. Once you get the hang of it, you can be whipping these out in about an hour. I actually have 3 of them I have made already for teacher's gifts for the holidays.


So, if you are ready let's get started!

First, you are going to need the following supplies:

CARDSTOCK: One 6"x11" - One 6"x7" - Two 4"x10" - Four 4"x5 3/4" - One 1 1/2' x 11"

PATTERNED PAPER: Two 3 1/2" x 10" - One 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" - One 3 1/2" x 51/2" - One 1" x 11"

ROUND CORNER PUNCH

GLUE or DOUBLE STICK TAPE

VELCRO

SCORER

ADDITIONAL EMBELLISHMENTS

Alright, here is your first step...




Now, attatch the strip you just made to the non adhered part of the 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 paper to make the handle and then finish adhering the rest of the paper down:







Apply glue or tape to the left and right outer panels of the folded 4 x 10”card stock...

Adhere one side of the 4 x 10 cardstock to back 4" panel of the main piece and do the same for the front of the main piece. Repeat for the second 4" panel.


You can then decorate the fron any way you like. I will post the coordinating cards tomorrow.
