You Will Need (3 things)

  • Duck Tape
  • Clean, Dry, Soft Rag
  • Ribbon

Steps (14 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 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...

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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.

  5. 5

    This is the front look like after gluing.

  6. 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..

  7. 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..

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

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