	You will need: Duck® brand duct tape Scissors or utility knife Ruler Optional: colored duct tape, stickers, fringe
	Step 1: Make a duct tape sheet that is 16 inches long by four strips wide.
	Step 2: Create a pattern, such as your favorite shape, to use as the shape of your purse. Cut out the front, back, and bottom of the purse. Note: The pattern for the front and back is the same; cut two.
	Step 3: Lay the front piece on top of the back piece.
	Step 4: Cut two 6-1/2 inch strips. Use them to tape the long sides together.
	Step 5: Cut five 2-inch pieces of duct tape. Place them around the entire edge of the bottom piece so there are no spaces between the strips.
	Step 6: Make slits in the strips attached to the bottom every ½ inch. Cut the slits just to the edge of the bottom piece, all of the way around, to make tabs.
	Step 7: Lay the bottom piece on your work space, with the sticky side of the tabs up.
	Step 8: Squeeze the purse from the sides so the opening is shaped like the bottom piece. Guide it down onto the bottom piece.
	Step 9: Fold the Tabs up onto the lower edge of the purse, making sure there are no gaps between the edge of the bottom piece and the lower edge of the purse.
	Step 10: Cut an 11-inch strip. Use it to make a band around the bottom of the purse, covering all of the tabs.
	Step 11: Make a folded strip as long as you want for the strap.
	Step 12: Use two 2-inch pieces of tape to connect both ends of the strap to the inside of the purse.
	Step 13: Optional: Add a pocket on the inside of outside by making a duct tape sheet the size you want the pocket to be. Use strips to tape it on, leaving the upper edge open.
