Paper Doll Tote

 This was a super fun birthday gift that I sewed up for my daughter's very good friend. It was a simple idea that turned out very cutesy. I especially like the color combination.
  
The inside, of the binder tote, has a triangular pocket and a Velcro attachment. I really like the striped fabric coordinating with the heart and floral fabrics.I sewed the front side of the binder cover to the insides of the covers and added handles and a latch closure for easy transport.

I designed some tags to keep storage of the paper dolls organized. I used fun colors to match the fabrics and adhered them to the clear pockets with hot glue. I also made sure that the glue wasn't too hot that it would melt the pages and made identical tags to adhere on the flip side. I also chose a font that would be easy to read.



I took a strip of 2 inch wide fabric, frayed the edge and gathered the other edge into a circle. The floral fabric is a 1 inch strip fixed in the same manner. I then hot glued them in a layered fashion with a fleece heart cut out and a rhinestone for embellishment. Cute!
Simple fun organization for 
your paper dolls. 
All in a cute little tote!
