I love making these handbags out of Designer Series paper. I use them all the time for gifts. This one is 12x12 size, but they are cute in a smaller version too. You can make them any size you like.

I used velcro to hold it closed.
There are lots of instructions around the place for these (often called a "Mini note purse"). Email me if you'd like a copy of the instructions I wrote for my class.
