origami paper card opened surrounded by other cards and pink flowers

One of my favorite things to find at flea markets and antique shops are vintage Valentine’s Day cards. They have so much character and their silly little puns just kill me. I also love a little homemade gift, of course. So when I stumbled across these victorian puzzle purses, I knew I had to make some for Valentine’s Day! So here’s a super simple tutorial on how to make a DIY victorian puzzle purse – and I can guarantee you’ll want to make more than one. I already made 6 and I’m going to make a few personalized ones for Valentine’s Day too!

Obviously I went neutral with mine and and just did black micron pens on brown and white cardstock because that’s more my style. But these would look great with lots of color too! You could even have your kiddos paint or color them as gifts after you get them folded.
