These patterns have been available for approx. 4 years and are downloaded approx. 20 times per day. Please notice the number of people who have bothered to comment or say thank you. I want you and anybody to download and have fun with these templates but I also think that it's polite to say something nice to someone who gives you her work for free.

I made this paper purse for a swap and want to share the templates with you.
The templates are at 150ppi resolution in case you want to paint in your paint program and print the purse.
Here is the purse template and here is the handle and tab template
Jane of StitchDance made this cute fabric version from the template.
I can hardly wait to try this. Thanks for your gracious offer!
ReplyDeletemeggiecat, please bring back the paper purse template! i like the purse alot, but did not have a chance to print it. I would like to make the paper purse for my daughter's birthday. I would sincerely appreciate your help. Thank you, Marie
ReplyDeleteThis is the most adorable paper purse I have ever seen. I have recently gotten into cardmaking and various other paper crafts and I think this will be my new fave. My daughter is having a birthday in a few months and these would be perfect for party favors. Thank you so much for the lovely template and ideas. Sincerely,
ReplyDeleteVerity Branch
Thank you Meggie cat. This is beautiful and will make some nice gifts. Your ideas and philosophy are adding a lot of happiness and inspiration to the world.

Thank you so much for the template. I have found other purse templates on the web but none as nice as yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks sooooo much for the template!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the template. I hope to create 10 paper purses for a Girls to Women Tea Party!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your beautiful work and talent with everyone. I've been looking for something like this to make as party favors for my daughter's 9th birthday party and your design is by far the best I have found. Thank you again, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThanks Meggiecat! Haven't tried it yet...hope I can do it. Has anyone done it with fabric fused to the paper? Would that be possible? Thanks! Tina
ReplyDeleteThis would be phenomenal to use as party favors (with goodies inside). Thank you. I like the fabric fused idea too.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I blog about these?
I love your pattern. Homemade is so much nicer. Thank you meggiecat!

ReplyDeleteMy students (especially the girls) are going to LOVE this! The boys are always building at recess and this will give them a chance to start their own projects!
ReplyDeleteI used your pattern with stiffened sparkle felt to make an Easter purse for my daughter. Thank you so much for the pattern!!!
ReplyDeleteI went looking for a purse template today and discovered most of what I could find online used pre-packaged designs or chipboard, or left the sides open (seems kind of pointless!). This is *exactly* what I was looking for and oh, so cute! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I have only just come across this and it looks delightful. I know how it feels when people download lots of things that you share and never stop to say a thank you
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks for the pattern! I love to make cards and this will be so cute! If I make it a little larger, it will be just dandy for a little candy! (or a gift card!)

ReplyDeleteMel,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you added this template to your huge list of paper purses on Mel Stampz.
It is by far the best resource on the subject that I've seen.
Oh My Goodness.. you are very generous.. thankyou!! I used these to send invitations to my 3yr onld daughters 'Ballerina' birthday party.. I stuffed them with tule and added a little surprise.... The girls were all very excited to recieve them.... and Ella was equally happy to hand them out... not one person was unable to come to the party!!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love hearing that Ella was pleased. Puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me.
You have truly inspired me! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThank you for this resource. It will be fun to make with my nieces.
ReplyDeleteHi! There are a limited number of crafts that senior adults can do when they have hearing, sight, and arthertis problems.

Hi, I just want to say a thousand thank-yous for this wonderful paper purse pattern and your inspirational blog. What a wonderful kind person you are to share all this with us.
ReplyDeleteRegards Rose from Australia.
Thank you so much. I've been searching for that since the morning
ReplyDeleteFound this blog purely by accident and how lucky was I?? This is just the cutest little bag I've seen and will be exactly right for my needs. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for inspiration to begin a sewing project- a purse requested by my daughter. Your pattern is wonderful and i think it will be my next project. I'm wondering how I might aadapt it to fabric... Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCatherine's mom
Catherine's Mom,
ReplyDeleteGood question. Sewing is the least of my skills but I think maybe the readers can help us. Watch for a new post.
I love this! Very pretty. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeletethank you for such a cute pattern.
ReplyDeleteToo bad some people forget thier manners
Thanks again!
You are all very welcome. It gives me joy to be able to share something you can use!
ReplyDeleteA great gift purse. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the template! I can't wait to try this! It's just perfect for what I need it for :D
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this??!!! Can't wait to try it for a "girlfriends" luncheon in the spring...will be cute with "goodies" in it! Thanks so much. Robyne
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU MCAT! VCAT
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pattern. My nieces will enjoy there. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteNow I printed this.. I can't wait to try it.. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful purse!
ReplyDeleteHi! My daughter-in-law loves purses and just for something different, I think I will make a few for her to switch off on. I will use way out buttons and papers and etc. and the only one who will know they are paper will be me, unless there is a crafter checking them out and then she will want the template too! Of course, I will have to make some for me too. You could even use this pattern and cover the back and front with dried flowers, dry sea grass, reeds, fall leaves and etc. Only the imagination can limit how many and how different the ways are. It is turning to fall here. Think my first one will be the beautiful maple leaves from our trees; oranges, reds, yellows and rust and all the in between colors too! Thanks loads.
ReplyDeleteI just found this pattern, this is so cute. It will be great for a homemade beauty kit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful template! I appreciate your generosity and artistic ability. I hope that mine will be as beautiful as yours.
ReplyDeleteMax
Thank you for the pattern, I have a group of princesses who are going to enjoy this.

Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us. I am looking forward to making your purse as gift bags this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI have never commented on a blog, and things like "select profile" throw me for a loop. Perhaps there are others as grateful, but as inept as myself!
This is one of the cutest purse patterns I've seen in all my searching! Thank you so much for sharing the template!

Hi Meggicat - thanks so much for sharing this beautiful template! I'm just beginning to experiment with paper purses, so this is great - thanks for the inspiratioon!
ReplyDeleteJust found this template, it's perfect and just what I've been looking for
ReplyDeleteThanks
Victoria
This will be perfect to put my niece's Christmas present in. She is a tetraplegic and has very limited use of her hand so can't normally open her own parcels. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! My purse turned out pretty cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! After this many years online, you should have zillions of comments...JR
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found this pattern! Thank you so much! It made the perfect gift bag for a bow/headband combo I bought for my son's classmate birthday. Since the bow had some zebra stripes on it, I purchased some coordinating scrapbook papers. Also, the bow was so big that your original pattern was a bit small, so I freehanded it.
ReplyDeleteCheck out how it turned out. The one on the right is your original pattern, I gave it to my daughter to play with. The one on the left is the freehanded and the bow barely fit! It was a big bow! :)

ReplyDeleteooooohhhhh thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for to package my little coffee cup sleeves when I sell them at craft fairs; this should fit one or two.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind to pass this adorable purse on to us. I have a great template, but yours is a little bigger so it's PERFECT to make for Mom/daughter celebrations. Thanks for your sweetness and kindness.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't seem to get the template to print out correctly. Thanks anyway. It was nice of you to share the idea with us!
ReplyDeleteThe template won't print properly unless you first save it to your hard drive. Open the file with a picture program and then print it out.
ReplyDeletethankyou for the cute pattern, I am going to try and make a little fabric box out of it, your site is a fun place to look around and I get good ideas for my next project, after I finish the 100 in front of this one.
