Step 1
for the money purse
---cut a 6-1/2 in by 9-1/2 in piece of paper
---fold down the short side at the 3-1/2 in mark and again at the 7-1/2 in mark
---by now it should look like an envelope in a way
---tape down all edges and any other area you want in order to secure it
---add any decorations to make it your own (i put circles on it that i cut out of the other map and made a tab so it can stay closed
Step 2
for the id holder
---cut a 2-1/2 in by 9-1/2 in piece of paper
---fold down the short side at the 4 in mark and again at the 8-1/2 in mark
---by now it should look like a much skinnier envelope in a way
---tape down all edges and any other area you want in order to secure it
---add any decorations to make it your own (i put circles on it that i cut out of the other map and made a tab so it can stay closed
Step 3
for the buttons
---i used a $30 badge-a-minit machine that i previously bought and made about 30 buttons

however you can do it another way
---collect buttons (can be pins or sewing buttons) of the same sixe ant trace the flat face
---the the paper down onto the button
---if using a sewing button hot glue a safety pin to the back of the button
