Victorian Puzzle Purse Craft

Come and make these charming last minute gifts with the Stockbridge Library Association! Puzzle purses take their inspiration from origami folding techniques and became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for friends and loved ones to write special messages, poetry verses, and little notes to one another. As the recipient opens each fold, they are delighted by the new design elements and little messages until they reach the final square on the inside! We will also have a small craft you can include in your puzzle purse for gift giving.

All ages welcome. There will be some pre-folded puzzle purses available for small children to decorate. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Supplies for making the puzzle purse will be provided. However, feel free to bring poetry verses, collage materials, photos or other things you‘d like to include in your puzzle purse.
