2. Stamp a line of Square Curl stamps across the center of the front of the purse, using red fabric paint.

3. Apply decorations to the front piece of the purse. Use fusible interfacing to attach trim, making sure to go all the way to the edges of the fabric. Use fabric glue to attach any beads or sew beadwork on.

4. Tack the ends of the beaded strap to the top edge of the purse, with the strap facing down.

5. Sew three sides of the purse, right sides together, leaving the top open. Repeat for the lining.

6. Turn the purse fabric right side out. Slip the purse into the lining, keeping the lining right sides together. Sew the purse to the lining around the top edges, leaving a two-inch opening. Turn the purse inside out and slip stitch the opening to finish.
