i {heart} handbags. and believe it or not, you can find some really awesome ones at thrift stores. they just need a little rehab, some TLC, and a brave soul. because i’ll admit, it can be scary making over a handbag.
on the flip side, if you mess the bag up, you’re only out a few bucks. BUT if you nail it, then you saved yourself big bucks {hello, have you seen the price tag on some of those beauties?!} take for example, this lovely little gray Charlotte Russe number. it cost $6 and was brand new inside and out. and umm, did you see the freakin awesome shape? yeah, needless to say, it found its way to my craft table :o]
and here’s the dramatic ‘After’ pic
{drum roll}
ta-da! yes, you can drool.
as long as you wipe up your keyboard afterwards ;o}
who knew pearls and felt went together? but these 4 gray felt flowers with pearl centers are perfect for a sophisticated and updated look.
such a fab bag for everyday or date night
happy crafting!
