How to Make a Duct Tape Purse

8. Fold the edges of the tape around the other side of the transparency film. Cut another piece of tape the length of the strap and careful lay the transparency side down on the tape so that the transparency is totally covered in tape. Fold the edges of the tape around to the other side of the strap again (figure G).

9. Taking one end of the strap, place it at the bottom middle of the purse. Wrap it up the side. Place the other end of the strap at the bottom of the purse, overlapping it on the first end and wrap it up the side of the purse. The strap should make a loop all the way around the purse (figure H).

10. Wrap the purse with the tape sticking the sticky side onto the purse this time. Wrap the bottom similar to wrapping a package. Make a tape border around the collage elements on the broad side of the purse (figure I). Wrap the top edges carefully by folding the tape over the top edge. Make several 45-degree angle cuts so that the corners look nice. Before folding down corners, cut out a "v" or two 45-degree angles so that the corners fold up neatly (figure J). Remove the book.

11. Make a flap for the top of the purse by overlapping several pieces of tape measuring the width of the broad side. Tape the flap to the top edge of the purse (figure K).

12. Install a snap on the flap and opposite top edge along the open side of the purse following the instructions that came with the snap kit (figure L).
