Score

Cut two of the triangular shape, but on only ONE leave the wide strip. This strip will be the bottom. Adjust size depending on how deep and wide you want your purse to be. Score along the line where the strip is attached. And score inch that will fold and attach to the other triangular shape.

Sidepiece should measure the length of the sides of your Purse plus 1 inches. It should measure the width of the side of your purse (same width you make the bottom flap) plus inch. Score inch in on each side of the sidepiece. Score 1 inch from the end of the sidepiece. Clip a notch along the 1 inch piece as this will be folded and attach to the bottom of the purse. (I use the Terrifically Tacky Tape (red tape) as it holds better than anything out there. I also use only SU cardstock as it is the sturdiest Ive found.) Place tape on the inch sides that have been scored. These will fold in and attach to both sides of your purse. I also put a piece of tape on the section that will fold into the bottom so it sticks to the actual bottom.
