Making a Victorian Puzzle Purse Card for your Valentine: A Journey to Whimsy and Intrigue
The Victorian Puzzle Purse Card, with its hidden message and unfolding layers, is a charming way to send a unique and sentimental greeting this Valentine's Day.
I have illustrated and designed a Printable Victorian Puzzle Purse Card that you can download below.
Here's your guide to crafting one:
Instructions:
-
Start with the Square Printable: glue the font and back design together.
-
Folding Fun: Make diagonal folds from corner to corner, creating an "X" crease. Then, fold each corner towards the center point where the creases intersect. You now have a smaller square.
-
Layer by Layer: Take one layer and fold its corner further towards the center, creating a triangle shape. Repeat for all four corners, forming a smaller square in the center.
-
The Heart of the Purse: Unfold two opposite triangles, leaving the other two folded. These unfolded triangles become the "purse flap."
-
Unveiling the Secret: Fold the remaining two triangles inwards, tucking them into the pockets created by the unfolded triangles. Your purse is complete!
-
Personalize Your Creation: On the back of the card, write your message, even tuck a pressed flower for a Victorian touch.
