Creative Hands: Victorian Puzzle Purses In-Person

Join us for a hands-on craft project located in the St. Francis Library building. In this session we will be making a Victorian puzzle purse. This vintage paper puzzle—which looks like an envelope or purse when folded shut—hides decorated panels, handwritten notes, and a small storage space inside. Use a technique derived from Japanese paper folding traditions to transform the way you send letters (or do your journaling)!
