Dollar Store Crafts shows how to make this pleated purse from a placemat. For the handles, they suggest taking apart an existing handbag from a discount store. (The one they used for the purposes of this tutorial is actually an attractive purse. If it were me, I’d only take apart a tacky purse.) Go to the tutorial.

Cardboard and yarn make great side-eye kitties
I love kitties and I love yarn, oh and “ugly Christmas sweaters” so this craft is happening now in my house. I have jars of scraps of yarn and of course recycled cardboard from boxes. Prowl on over to the blog Krokotak for the tutorial on how to make side-eye kitties in “ugly Christmas sweaters”. Have fun drawing all sorts of cat faces.
