Glue the outer surface and start placing rubber bands on it.

Place the bands at a gap of 1cm from each other. Make sure they stick well.

Use glue again and place the rubber bands horizontally.

The bands should bind the card boards together firmly.

Cut the bands from one side to make an opening to keep your things.

TIP- Use hot glue to bind the rubber bands. I used glue and some bands started falling out, though made a good design later :D Looked like the equalizers in music apps.

The purse clutch is tight enough but you can add a cap to just make sure your money, paper doesn't fall out as shown.

Take a piece of card paper, add some glue and stick it to one side of the purse clutch. Then fold the card paper as shown to form a perfect lock.

Finalize
