Subject: does anyone remember a paper purse

does anyone remember a paper purse pattern that could be made into a magnet or pin. I think I saw the idea on CD show sometime ago. Maybe a Karen Thomas project.
Any way the purse looked sorta like the red one at this site

Or does someone have any ideas. Thought it might be cute pin for the Mother's Day Pin swap.
Thanks

I think these would look great inside the purse favor bags. http://www.drstamping.com/postit.html

All you have to do is shrink your template small enough, the one that was posted here a while back that she had shrunk to make 4 on a page is a good one to use.
I've shrunk them and made little sewing kits to carry in one's purse. I used one without sides to put felt in to hold the needles and then made a matching one a bit larger to hold it and thread and mini sissors, needle threader.. I wrapped thread around the plastic bobbins one uses for embroidery thread.
