Spring Treat Purse Bags by Pinky

Hey there SW friends, 

It's Pinky today and I am so excited about these new Purse Files from Samantha!

I decided since it is spring and Easter is also approaching, 

I wanted to make my girlfriends gift "purses" with candy in them.

Because I am super rad like that~ 

I fell in love with this Purse With A Circle Handle and knew

I wanted to make my "baskets" out of them. 

Now you can see I stitched mine on the tooling....when I say I...

I mean I bribed a friend to do it! 

I drug her to a really boring event and put a needle in her hand...

then bought her pizza- so thank you Melissa Cook, you all

can appreciate what a great job she did!

The perforations are perfect to stitch with needle and thread. 

 After the front and back were stitched, I folded all the edges over and

covered them with strong adhesive. 

 Then I also covered the sides with adhesive for extra sturdy 

sticking since I was going to put candy in it. 

 You can find Samantha's awesome tutorial HERE.

I attached the sides. 

 Then followed the same ideas with the adhesive for the button flap. 

 I pressed inside with my fingers making sure everything was adhered. 

 Then I attached the circle handles and added this bow.

Now there are flowers but I loved the bow so much, I just

couldn't put anything else on it.

 Except a strand of pearls around the handles. 

After it was completed I filled it with lace and candy- 

Now who doesn't love lacy and candy!

I hope you enjoyed my project today-
