Opening Purse Box - Instructions

Hi all,

Thought I'd pop on today with the instructions to make this cute little Purse Box.

The box is made using a 12 x 12 piece of card and scoring into shape. The flap was created using a scalloped circle nestie, stuck to the back and a little velcro on the front so that it can be opened.  

Here are the instructions and measurements
