What you do

Use a pencil to mark off a 5-inch wide x 11.5-inch long strip of red craft foam and cutout. Fold the strip in half so that the ends match. Punch holes (through both layers) evenly spaced around three sides of the strip as shown.

Cut a 10-inch long piece of lace and tie knot in one end.

Hold the folded craft foam strip together so that the holes match. Starting at the top on one side, insert the lace through both holes, from back to front, and pull it through until the knots rests against the pouch. Repeat this step until all three sides of the pouch are laced together. Tie a knot at the end and trim off any excess lace.

Punch two more holes through both layers of craft foam at the top of the pouch as shown. Cut lace to the desired length for a purse or neck strap. Insert the ends through both holes and knot in the back of the pouch.

Glue craft foam shapes on the front of the pouch.
