i used a worn out cutting mat... cut it up, made a sleeve and felt like i was truly practical...
and, had an excuse to finally get a new mat! |
Before retiring my DH got me a stack of old desk calendars.The ones that fit on tops for memos etc.
Used the monthly pages for packaging and the back for purse bottoms. The ones I got are Heavy and all you need for bottoms of purses once they are covered. |

I had an old, too small, cuting mat that I had a guy at work cut up into different sizes. He even rounded the corners so they don't poke through.

good idea using plastic place mats for the bottom of bags.

I use verticle blind left over panels! They are flexible,4" wide and you can cut them what ever length you need. I also use a fabic cover, which is removable. They have a nice soft curve to them which helps the purse stand up.

WOW Thanks for sharing all of your adive on this subject-

I use Luann.. I think that's how you spell it.. It's a very thin plywood. It's generally used on the back of a dresser or something like that.. It's thin and strong.. east to cut.. I just measure, cut, cover it with lining fabric and put it in the purse or tote.. Works great!

I use plastic canvas and I get mine from JoAnn's, Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
