It is a thief, sort of a pickpocket. In Medieval times, men and women carried their money in a purse on their belts. A cut purse would brush up against them, cut the purse and take the money out of the slit.

What was a cutpurse and what happens to them at the theater?
A cut-purse is a thief. The modern day name would be a pick-pocket. They were called cut-purses because in the days when people carried their money in a bag (a purse) hung off their belts, the thieves would steell them by cutting the cord attaching the purse to the belt. Theatres were goo places for cut-purses to operate because they were crowded (people stood rather then sat) and peoples attention was focused on the stage/actors rather than their purses.

There are many different ways to go about doing this. One way is to glue individual wrappers together and form a purse shape.
