It just goes to show, never throw out an old bag. I had become quite tired of this little number and was about to hand it off to the next owner, but I thought I might as well try out an idea I had scribbled in my notebook some time back. I am ever so thankful I did. I think I've officially created a new favorite piece of mine. And you should too! Here's how...
Supplies: Old purse (find one on a thrifting trip!), doily, mod podge, tacky glue or any durable craft/fabric glue.
Pantry Supplies: Scissors, paintbrush.
First, take the tacky glue and apply it in thin increments on the back of the doily. Place it on the corner of the purse and press firmly. Once it dries, carefully cut off the excess by guiding your scissors along the edges of the purse. Lastly, apply a thin top coat of mod podge to secure all the edges in place.
Enjoy! xx

Hello Kinsey,
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely idea. I've seen this purse online, (perhaps at pintrest) and fell in love with it. I've wondered who's idea this was, guess it was yours all along. Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial here. I will not say "I'll have to try this" because if I say it, I'll never do eheh, but if I do, I'll show you the result. ok? Thank you. Peace. Aisa
Great DIY! Love the delicate lace over the faded leather.
