1
Print out the blank bag template from the following link onto thin card:

Also print out the instructions (on plain paper or scrap paper):

Decorate the blank template using whatever you like! Use paint, markers, color pencils, crayons, color pens, anything really. Free your mind :)
Alternatively, you can decorate your blank handbag template on Photoshop and then print it out and assemble it.

3
Cut out the blank bag template and the three "straps". The last strap will be the handle while the other two will connect the bag together.

Now comes the difficult part. Follow the instruction paper by hill folding or valley folding the lines. I find it easier to score lightly along the line before I fold.

5
Slice or score the blue lines. Then slide the straps and handle through the holes.
-
6
Glue or use double sided tape to stick the bag together where the orange dots are.
