BUNNY HOP DOODLE-POP PURSE | with Niella

Hippity Hoppity, welcome crafty friends to my project today! It's my favorite season, Spring and who doesn't love re-visiting such a sweet and darling collection, Bunny Hop! This collection is everything cute and colorful! I wanted to create something new SO how about a sweetiful doodle-pop purse to gift or store your precious collection in? Stay tuned to the end for the full video showcase. So let's bop and hop right into my project!

This cutie-pie purse is 4x4 and with the concertina sides, it means you can fill it with up with 5 doodle-pops! How fun! I really love how you can also pop in gift cards and some candy if you don't want to store your doodle-pops in it. With a matching wristlet you could add charm dangles as well. So many amazing options!

I've also added in a back pocket for a tuck spot for a note or some stickers. So cheerful. The paper I've used is my favorite named May Flowers, I just adore all the florals in this collection! While I've used my sewing machine to add stitching for an extra texture, these purse can be created without. I would recommend making one without stitching if it's your first attempt.

Using foam squares and the ephemera pack, I've layered them behind the sticker banner Hello Spring and added the tiniest flowers from the mini icon stickers to elevate the banner sticker. I do this all the time on my projects. I just love to add the smallest details in!

Using one sheet of 12x12 patterned paper, you cut two 10.5x4" pieces of cardstock and adhere them front to back to strengthen the purse. Next, you cut two 4.5x3" pieces for the concertina sides and score at 1/2 inch from left to right. Now to score. The top flap is scored at 2 1/4" then 2.5" then 6.5", then 7 1/4", the remaining part is the front body of the purse. Then you are just adding the concertina sides to the inside front and then inside back. Adjust before you adhere. Add a velcro dot as a closure. Decorate however you wish, so fun!

Now for the wristlet, use whatever paper you have left over. Remember to cut two even pieces and glue together. Two layers strengthen the wristlet. Punch a hole in both the purse and wristlet, add a ring let or elastic if you wish. Go wild, add in charms, tassels, tags! So many fun ideas come to mind, right!
