Gum wrapper origami5/4/2023 ![]() I noticed someone made a very beautiful purse using magazine covers. There is so much to learn but this is a great beginning. This is truly an art that has so much potential. I had to buy a purse and study it to learn how to make them. I have been making these purses for about 8 months. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. I have seen so many folks said they were going to post the instructions for these purses and never did, you are the first on the web (imagine!) to do so. Thanks so very much for posting the tutorial on the potato chip wrapper purse. It's a great thickness and won't break when it's pulled tight. ![]() I’ ve read lots of info of speculation on how these purses are put together…………….they are all sewn and NOT woven or folded together. I checked into the fishing line that everyone talks about, it was catfish nylon and would not break but I can’t find any thin enough. DMC floss worked fine, I found a doily crochet thread that worked. It’s very strong and won’t break but it was so thin that it actually was like a knife and cut my wrapper. ![]() The thread that I was using in the photos was a denim jean thread. I’ ve tried several different kind of thread…….I don’t know that there is a wrong or right thread…….as long as it is very strong. That seemed to work the best but you will need a needle to attach the zipper. The size of the piece of credit card was cut 2 3/8 X 1/2. Poke a hole in one end for the needle to tie your thread on. You can use a large eyes needle with a blunt tipto sew the rows together or make yourself a needle out of a credit card or some type of heavy plastic.
