No-Sew Ball Purse

Easy and fast, a great idea if you are in a hurry. You will only need:

1. Two milk carton boxes
2. Fabric for the purse + anything else for decoration- more fabric, or beads, stones, etc. (remember this post)
3. A strap (or bow)
4. Hot glue and a hot glue gun
5. Iron
​6. Kam snaps or velcro

Start with cleaning your cartons and cutting them into even rectangles, one slightly bigger than the other.

Wrap your rectangles in fabric and iron. The milk boxes have plastic film that melts and glues to your fabric.

You should now have two boxes looking like that:

The smaller of your boxes will form the purse. Bend as shown to create the desired shape.

Cut on fold two semicircles for the sides.

And glue with hot glue to the smaller of the two boxes.

Repeat on both sides, until you have the inside structure of the purse.

Now is the time to add one side of your Kam snaps. If you are using velcro, you can either add it now or glue it on at the end.

Now measure how the bigger box will cover the smaller one, and add the other side of the Kam snap. Glue together both boxes with hot glue (mind you, hot glue is.. well.. HOT).

Now you already have your basic purse ready. 

Want to decorate further? I glued some extra frills.

And added a snap, since I find this an essential part of any ball purse, should you want to dance.

Ta-daaa! Here is your new purse. Have fun with it!
