Milk Carton Notebook/Purse

This is a larger version of the Milk Carton Wallet that I posted previously. See link below for the smaller version.

• Rinsed 1/2 gallon milk or juice carton with plastic spout
• Scissors
• Ex-acto knife
• Pen
• Awl or scribe tool
• Template for Milk Carton Checkbook Wallet
• Optional:
  • Pop Rivet tool
  • Pop Rivets
  • 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (I used 45")

• Carefully unfold the top section. It helps to take the cap off to pull the sections apart. Try to disturb as little as possible.
• On the side opposite the spout, cut down the middle of the carton.

• Trace the template.
• Mark where the dotted lines cross the outside edge.
• Hint: If the spout is making it difficult to trace the template - let the spout fall over the edge of the table/surface.
• Using an awl, scribe the horizontal line that bisects the half circles.
• Scribe the other horizontal lines.
• Scribe the vertical line that creates the half circle.
• Find the center point of the half circles and scribe the rest of the lines.

• Fold all scribed lines.
• Bring flap over the top and secure with the plastic cap.
• If you have trouble getting the cap to screw on you may need to enlarge the hole a bit.
• If you want to add a strap - I used 5/8" grosgrain ribbon. Mark the holes 1 inch from the edge and use a pop rivet tool to attach the ribbon to the notebook with pop rivets.
