  Step 1

  Get a stiff cardboard (I recycle a mushroom packing box 0r cut from a lid will do too!)
  and cut a shape like the picture - you can be creative after this tutorial...

• 

  Step 2

  The cardboard have to be stiff and flexible enough for
  a nice curve bend when you press it this way!

• 

  Step 3

  Cut 3 pieces of the cardboard - exactly the same shape and size.

• 

  Step 4

  Wrap a piece of rag / clothes..felt with be a good choice
  but I don't have any and it's very expensive here..
  You make wrap it with double side tape, glue gun, anything
  that is friendly to handle.

• 

  Step 5

  This is the front look like after gluing.

• 

  Step 6

  I cover the raw edge at inside with duck-tape..
  You may sew another piece of clothes for the lining...
  but I'm not good in sewing..so, this is my best option..

• 

  Step 7

  After done above step with the all 3 pieces...
  Take two of them and sew up the side..
  the inner side is facing each other..

• 

  Step 8

  You will get a small pocket like this.. continue connect
  the other piece with one line of stitch too.
  Remember not to close up the whole thing...

• 

  Step 9

  After you done with the third piece, you will
  find a nice triangle piece of purse that will open
  when you press on both ends..
  and the 'Pop Open' purse is done...

• 

  Step 10

  This part I add up myself...I think it will be cuter if
  I spice up a bit and
  change the purse into
  ..

• 

  Step 11

  A MOUSE!

• 

  Step 12

  I'm so addicted after my first one so I did some more...

• 

  Step 13

  A fish... and...somemore...

• 

  Step 14

  This one a bit crazy.... Have fun!

It's awesome, but I got a problem understanding

Where did you glue/sew the 3rd piece ? I mean, the two are glue together by sides, right ? Inner to inner. But the 3rd ? Below ?

Thanks again for this awesome how-to !

The project is great and I would like to make several, however can someone translate the instructions into proper English. I can not understand the author's broken English and it appears I am not the only one.
