  Step 1

  First step is to find material for your bag. You can use magazine pages, newspaper, old cataloge etc. The inportant thing is that pages of the magazines be the same thickness.

• 

  Step 2

  The tool you will be using on this project is on the picture. You will need scissors,stick from chienesse restoraunt, clips,scotch tape,thread and a plastic needle. This needle you will making by an old credit card.

• Step 3

  Cut your magazines. The size of the rectangles is 14.4x6.4cm. For this bag you will be needed about 456 peices of paper. I know, this job is very borring :(

• 

  Step 4

  When you finish the cutting you will need to waqterproof your bag. Deside which side you like more on each rectangle (side you will want to show on your bag) and that side you waterproof.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut the tape and your paper is ready for folding. Do that with every peice.

• Step 6

  Now you can start folding your rectangles. The folding is the same like you are making candy wrapper bag. Dandy Lion explined the tehniqe of folding here. This link is from her how to

• 

  Step 7

  When you finish folding you can start making chains. Make 10 chains, they should be 36 links long. Also make 8 chains of 12 links long. The longer chains will be fronts and a bottom of the purse and the small one will be a side of the purse. Don`t close your links like when you are making candy wrapper bag,it should be open. On the picture you can see 5 chains ready for sewing.

• 

  Step 8

  Now you can sew your chains. The sewing goes at the same way like Dandy Lion explined the tehniqe of sewing. When you finish sewing long links they should look like mine on the picture. Repeat sewing with the short links by sewing 2 parts of 4 chains. That 2 pecies will be the side of the purse.

@Laodice: I think the link that Milan published must have changed since she posted it. It doesn't have all the instructions you need. Try this link for full instructions on weaving and sewing:

Could you explain the whole sewing the magazines together... are you sewing down the chains to keep them in place or sewing each set of chains together...
