Spongebob Purse

Turn a Spongebob lunchbox into a cute handbag using these purse craft instructions. Your new Spongebob purse will be a quirky, stylish way to carry your essentials.

Materials:

• Lunchbox
• Fabric (2 colors)
• Pellon
• Tacky spray glue
• Ribbon
• Sewing machine
• Elastic
• Mod Podge

Instructions:

1. First I traced the top on to yellow fabric.
    
2. Then I estimated the size I would need for the bottom and sides for the blue fabric.
   
   
    
3. Then I took some Pellon and fused it to the blue and the yellow to had a little padding.
   
   
    
4. Then I took that handy dandy spray glue and sprayed the inside of the lunch box.
    
5. I put the blue fabric back in and then trimmed it up as best I could.
   
   
    
6. I glued some ribbon around the edge. Just to make it pretty. :) I forgot to take a picture of this step. I don't know why.
    
7. I decided I needed a couple of pockets. I made one and sewed it to the yellow side since I hadn't stuck it on the lunch box.
   
   
    
8. Since I'd already stuck the blue down I made another pocket. Put some elastic around the top to help hold stuff in it. (Ignore the wet spot on the fabric. I spilled water on it.)
   
   
   
   
    
9. Then I used Modge Podge to glue the pocket onto the blue fabric.
