Step 1
Cut a piece of the double stick into a 1 1/2 X 4 inch piece (you can make this larger if desired)
Step 2
Peel off 1 side of the double stick on your cut piece
Cover with your leaf, sheets are the easiest as you place the sheet over and tear at the edges, then use a stiff brush to remove excess and adhere to adhesive more firmly
Step 3
Plan the piece, lay on table leaf side up
Fold the top edge a bout 1/8 inch this will be the hem for the purse flap press firmly to make a line
Fold up the bottom edge to make the line for the bottom of the purse, adjust this to an additional fold of the top which will form the purse flap.
Press lines firmly as this will help in the next step
Plan where the charm/charms that will decorate the front of the necklace will go be sure to consider the top flap when planning this
Step 4
Lay a paper plate on your work surface, open your bead packages/containers
Get multiple plates ready if you plan to use multiple packages of beads
Hold the piece with the front still folded up, peel the protective sheet off the double stick down to the fold line, stick the charm on where you want it.
Peel off the rest of the protective sheet
Sprinkle beads over the adhesive, do this over your paper plate.
Mix colors as desired, cover all the adhesive.
Lay piece flat on a plate and press down with your fingers, set piece aside
Pour runoff beads from plates into containers.
Step 5
Lay piece bead side down
Fold the top over to form at least an 1/8 inch hem
Cut a piece of the 1/8 inch redline tape and tape the hem
Fold up the bottom to your planned size
Use 1/8 inch tape to glue the sides together do not go all the way to the top if you are going to put something in the purse when done.
Fold over the flap and press firmly to hold
Step 6
You can attach the neck chain or fiber in multiple ways, you can poke tiny holes in the upper edges and use rings to attach a neck chain be careful as it is easy to tear at this point.
My best success involved using satin cord I cut a piece that would make the necklace the length I wanted. Then I lifted the flap and placed a piece of the red line tap and then attached the cut ends of the satin cord to that tape. You need to press the top flap down again firmly. I have used fibers for this or chains from ugly necklaces I found on clearance but I like the satin cord the best and it was inexpensive too.
Step 7
Now you can embellish any way you wish:
Add fibers/bead/charms wherever your imagination takes you.
You can use a sharp item to poke holes along the bottom to hang rings with charms and/or fibers but be very careful as it easy to tear it you can reinforce the bottom before you fold it up by adhering a line of paper to the fold line you will need to really press the fold if you do this. I have not had to do that and even when I did cause a tear you could not see it or anything. This little purse is fairly tough as a whole piece but the edges can be torn if you are not gentle when attaching items.
Step 8
You can stop here or add something for inside the necklace and the sky is the limit on that:
Decorate a mini Clink-It http://www.aliciag.com/catalog/
stamp a message on it, you may want to cover with diamond glass or UTEE for a shiny effect.
You could use a small tag to decorate and put a message on or a piece of CS cut to fit.
This is where the size of necklace you made makes a difference as to what size message will fit.
I sent one to someone with a dollar tucked in it.
This can be a one word thing like Love or Memories or Friends or Go Girl and so on and so on
