Matchbox Week: Chanel Bag

MORE MATCHBOXES - WAY TOO MUCH FUN WITH THIS DIE!
Here's my version of a small "faux" quilted bag I had to try. The flap on the bag is for looks only - it is not functional. This matchbox die amazingly looks larger in a photo but the finished size is 2" x 2-3/4" x 3/4".

Inside contents:

Chain is threaded through eyelets at the top of the flap:

Back of purse is also "quilted".

To make purse:

-cut chain: 7" long without the "connector" as shown.

-Cut Lid: size is 3" x 2-2/4", score 3/4" along the 2-3/4" side. Punch with 3/16 Corner rounder on 2 corners.

-Score both the lid and the Matchbox Cover 3/8" apart at a 30" angle. The Score-pal was used.

Here is a photo of the scoring and piercing template I made.

Using a piercer, piece through intersections.

-Use Large Black eyelets and position 1/4" from edge. (oops, forgot to pierce in the photo!)

-Thread chain through eyelets. Secure chain "connector" with glue dot on to the lid so it is not visible after flap is secured with dimensionals.

-Complete matchbox cover, then adhere lid.
-To keep the purse flap down, add dimensional (photo is missing this step).
-Use Designer Label punch + 1" Circle Punch for the Chanel Branding.
- Use 2 "C"s from the Big Shot Natural Serif alphabet die.
