Step 2:
If you want to do the Burnishing technique - just take a sponge and ink it up and rub - literally grind the ink into the paper.
Also - if you're totally bead crazy like me you can cut a sheet of O’So Sticky Tape the same as the template and bead the whole darn thing.

Step 7:
Now here's the tricky part... take the Velcro dot and put both sides together - Velcro together with sticky parts on outside. Then peel one side off exposing sticky and stick to top flap. Leaving dots together peel other sticky off and close the flap - making sure to position the way you want it to look when the purse is closed. And voila - dots match up perfectly and now purse will open and close time and time again.
