Reconstruction - Interior Box of Purse


The acetate pattern of the interior bottom was traced onto the beautiful art paper.  When the piece was cut out it was trimmed just inside the pencil line. Two bottoms were traced and cut.


 The pattern was then pressed inside the box. Using a thumb nail or bone folder the edge was crisply pressed into the creases.


Strips were measured on the back side of the paper for the interior and exterior sides of the purse body. The strips were twice the width of the side of the box.


Here all the paper pieces are ready to be attached to the body using Modge Podge.



A clean craft paper surface was laid out for the job gluing.


The adhesive is applied heavily to the box, then the paper is attached.  The wide end of the body indicates the bottom of the purse; here you can see that a smaller joiner piece will be applied over the large piece.
