Paper Purse

During my purse frenzy, I was fascinated with fusing paper to fabric. So I fused some scrapbook paper with the texture of lizard skin and a wall paper remnant to taffeta, punched holes around the edges and made this...





I glued the two pieces together, folded it up, cut and put the sides in place (creased to form a gusset) and sewed it up with a synthetic yarn. I cut the gecko out of the lizard paper and glued it in place, then added the beads and strap.

Voila! Paper Gecko Purse!
