I just now found this post and had an idea to make folding a bit easier, at least for me. Before I folded my poster board, I used a yardstick, secured with painter's tape, along the side where my marks were. This gave me a sharp edge to fold against. It worked quite nicely.

I will make it to send my granddaughter's valentines to school. Then she can carry hers home in it. Cute idea. Thank you.

I made a paper purse for my mom, for Mother's Day last year. And I also made a woman style wallet for gift cards. And I put an adult coloring book, candy and a couple nic naks in it!

Very nice and very easy. Love your ideas. Just another thing for me to make for my craft fairs. I did make your smaller bag from 12 x 12 and sold them at my craft fair. I would put some tissues, sweets, mini pen, mini post it note, maybe some lip balm, all for a girls party or just for fun. THANK YOU SO MUCH XX

So so cute!! I am going to make one for a bridal shower and put things for the bride ,not household things,and for a diaper bag,and actually use a pack of diapers. Would be great for a teacher,a women that is retiring ,WOW! Now my mind is racing!! Thank You so much for sharing!

Thanks you for being you.

Awesome project! My niece is having a baby soon, great idea as a diaper bag with goodies inside for baby!

Hello Maymay this is Shirley. I wanted to make it for a Women's Conference at our church to put different souvenirs in. We do have a lot of handouts that we put in the bags. Something different.

Darn! I saw the plate & was hoping for a snack!

I was thinking this would be fun for a baby (or bridal) shower gift bag!

Awesome! TFS. I made a small one from your tutorial last year for my mom on Mother’s Day, and think I’m going to do this large one for my daughter who just blessed us with a new grandson. Think I’ll put some “spa day” type things inside for her, since my new grandson decided to be born the day she and I were scheduled to get mani-pedi’s. LOL

What a great gift purse! I have the buckles, but wasn't sure how to use them. Thanks for the idea! Super cute!!! Yes, a stuffed animal would be adorable sticking its head up out of the purse!!! As always, thanks for your ideas and for you being YOU!!!

My daughter-in-law loves purses and her birthday is coming up so I think I will make her one of these for her birthday and put a gift in it not sure what yet but will let you know as soon as I find it and get it made

Much better than I imagined! Another home run!i can see making these for gift bags. Thanks Maymay. Hugs and blessings.

Very cute, there are many uses for this purse, center pieces for table decorations for mothers day, etc.

Cutest lil purse 👛 to put a small needle project or crochet to take to a Dr appt.

Such a great project. Awesome to use that buckle to make such a great and stable bow! Thanks AGAIN, Maymay!

Notepad that matches, a decorated pen. Some tissue and some Bible note cards. And a chocolate bar.

EASTER baskets! Make them for Senior Centers (ministry) birthday party gift bags, Endless uses and can be for either male or female depending event. I think I love the bigger ones!

I made one and I put blanket. I already made one from chipboards last year. I made my handle from ribbons 🎀

That’s really cute!

I see this for any occasion...oooh...a. Get well or thinking of you or journal gift purse filled with things to build a journal book. Just have to make the bottom study and maybe use crop a file to anchor straps with grommets...so super cute

Thank you Shirley for the suggestion and thank you MayMay for making it. I think this would be great for teanage granddaughter.

Awesome project!

Wow Maymay this is SO amazing! This video was sooo much fun. I am going to make one today. I love this, and I am so thankful Shirley challenged you. I would love to see more large 3D projects with poster board. Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I want to use these to fill with goodies for my sons teachers. 🛍👛👜❤️

Great idea!!! I thinks I would put candy with something I think would be for who ever it is for.

I think you could use a metal yardstick and a stylus or bone folder to score between the 8" marks. That will make the folds easier to do and also more precise.

Beautiful!

Absolutely on point!!!! ❤❤ this bag. I am going to make this, so many possibilities. Thanks Maymay, love your ideas! Thanks for the suggestion. Shirley!!

OMG! I SUPER LOVE THIS PURSE 👜! 🌻Thank you 🌾 thank you 🌿 your videos are so inspiring ! ❤️

Super Cute!! Maymay.

Love it! I’ve made your paper purses in the past. I just made one for Valentine’s Day. But.....I’ve been looking for a larger one and this is PERFECT! Awesome job as usual Maymay.😍🤩🎉 Tfs. Hugs-Kristina🤗

had fun watching it looks easy enough I think I will try it then teach it to our church kids for youth fellowship a crafty night will be fun for them thank you maymay Lois from the Caribbean

Very pretty

This is such a large purse and I'm loving it! You can put so much in this I think. A book, along with some treats, a stuffed animal, body lotions and sprays, a new phone, etc....Gosh so much would fit! Love how you made that bow Maymay, I have many of these little ribbon sliders so it is nice to know a new way to use them! Hugs, Brenda

I just ordered the We R Template Studio with my Christmas gift cards. That would be a perfect tool to make working with poster board easier. I would LOVE to see you play with the Template Studio and see what cool large 3D paper project you could come up with!!

Really cute. Not sure what I would use it for.

What a cute bag!! The possibilities are endless on how to decorate and fill this up, what a great way to package a gift! Tfs :)

So cute....getting poster board tomorrow to make my sister's gift bag for her birthday party on the 26th of Jan.....thanks MayMay!!!!!

Love this! Would be perfect for a woman's special birthday! Would look so awesome on the party table!

Oh my goodness, what a neat idea for anything!

😍 love it

Oh my goodness! You did it!!!love this. So fun.

I would use it for gifts for my granddaughter. She loves stuffed animals. I would also put a few bath bombs in it.

Well look I'm kinda real late watching this like it'd 2020. Lol. I've done one like this using your tote/ hand bag last year but this one I'm doing this year. I'm using in October for the Boo! game. You boo your neighbor at Halloween. Putting bath and body works lotion, saop, candle wax tarts, and bath ball. Some candy treats also. Thank you so much. Putting Halloween paper instead to decorate.

Would be great for mother's day! It'll be here before you know it.

Love it

This is so cute. It would be great for me to put my little displays of Cake Pops for a Valentines Party. I love it!

It looks pretty simple to make. TFS all the details. This makes into a great looking bag/purse. 👌😊

Super cute !!! I would use it a centerpiece with flowers in it

Too Cute!! Thanks for doing the challenge.

Beautiful

This really turned out incredibly well. I am really impressed. An amazing gift bag.

How about a new prayer journal with pens and stickers? I made one of the small purses last year and made a mini-album to match that fit neatly inside. I gave it as a gift to my GP's nurse. She loved it!

Super cute I love when u make your mini purses iam obsessed with them I know how to make them now so super happy I love giving them have a little gift I would love to try this one though I think the bigger the easier it might be for me thanks for sharing💕💜💕

Great Challenge! I needed that to wrap up a Christmas present.

Say that 5x fast. A little loaf of bread would go great with Vinnie's chicken NOODLE soup to someone that is sick. Great video. Happy New Year!

So stinkin cute, love it! I'm making a journal with some matching cards that will be used in a silent auction for my granddaughters concert band. Would be so cute to put the items in this purse. Thank you! Hugs... Linda

Oh my gosh! This is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!

Love this I made one for my friends birthday super impressed x

I would put in a box of tissues, cough drops, tea bags, honey, a search-a-word magazine, and take it along with a get well card enclosed to a friend who was under the weather.

Love the project, always do! ❤️

That would make a perfect bag to put raffle tickets in!!!

Love love! Will have to make one, or two or .....!

Very cute. Love it.

Would be a cute beach bag.

Making 1 for a birthday gift. The recipient is turning 50! I'm making a t-shirt and don't know what else will be going in it.

Hi Maymay I just joined your stamp of the month club

Loved it

Bravo, Maymay... well done!! ♥Maranda

Hi maymay I dont know if you reviewed it but I have a we r memory keeper template studio that has a mat that is that same size and it comes with a cutting and scoring tool. Its really cool. I will try this with your measurements. Thank you for what you do😊

You should try Un-Du for removing those sticky stickers. It works great, doesn't harm most papers (even photos!), but it does stink.

I make purses to hold all occasion greeting and gift card holder sets .

I would put a teddy bear in it

This would be adorable for a girly girl party decoration.

How about putting a battery operated candle in the purse and use it for a night light?
