Step 3:

Cut from the 2 1/2" score to the 3 1/2" score line to remove the corners. Repeat for all four corners.

Step 4:

Fold all the score lines. Before assembling the card caddy, punch holes in the top and bottom flaps to attach a closure. Carefully line up the holes so that they will not overlap and ruin your closure.

 

Step 5:

Use the 7/8 inch circle punch to punch 3 circles from the removed corners pieces

Step 6:

Cut out a large and small flower from left over corner pieces.  Reverse the large flower to show the inside pattern and place the small flower on top. Punch a hole in the center for the brad.  Punch a hole in the top of the satchel for the flowers. Refer to photo of finished project for placement. Push the brad through all three layers.  

Step 7:

Cover the back of the brad with one of the circles. 

Step 8:

Punch a hole in one of the remaining two circles. Punch a hole in the bottom flap of the satchel. Refer to photo of finished project for placement. Attach the circle to the card satchel with a brad.

Step 9:

Attach a length of crochet cotton or thin ribbon to complete the closure. Secure with a tight knot under the top flower.

Step 10:

Use a corner rounder on side flaps. Use Scor-Tape™ to adhere the bottom flap to the side flaps.
