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

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

  2. 2

    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. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    Slice or score the blue lines. Then slide the straps and handle through the holes.

  6. 6

    Glue or use double sided tape to stick the bag together where the orange dots are.

  7. 7

    Now you have your very own custom made Hermes handbag! Make as many as you wish to create your own handbag collection!
