The Artful Bag Challenge - May - Playing with Paper

For The Artful Bag Challenge:  Last weekend's Royal Wedding was so inspirational.  It taught me that if I thought I had seen the craziest hats ever, I hadn't seen NOTHING yet!  So with these memories fresh in our minds, I thought it was the ideal time to play with paper and create a handbag to match Princess Beatrice's one-of-a-kind hat.  Here's the hat, in case you have forgotten. (And how COULD you have forgotten?)
And here's the paper handbag I designed:
