- While the purse is still flat and unassembled, cover the front flap with the blue textured paper and the handle with green textured paper (tip: the front side of the handle is connected with the front of the purse that has the curved slit in it; the front of the flap is on the side connected with the back of the purse). Trim around the edges of each. Stamp the floral image with the glue pad onto the center of the blue textured flap, then add the flock over the stamped image. Lightly press the flock over the image, then shake off the excess. Add more flock and repeat the process as needed. Allow it to dry thoroughly before assembling the purse (at least an hour or two, but overnight is great).
- Assemble the purse by interlocking the bottom flaps from inside the box. Insert the handle through the slit at the fold at the top of the front flap, and tuck the flap into the small slit in the front of the purse. Glue the striped border with faux stitching across the bottom of the front, and across the back. Trim a 2 1/4" length of the faux stitching and glue across the top edge of the flap, next to the handle.
- Attach small red bow to the front with a Zot™. Computer print or write "for you" on a green paper fragment and attach near the bow. Place the purse on its back and press handle flat against your work surface. Stamp the dragonfly image onto the handle and flock it. Let it dry.
