Note: Cute, yet shabby purse.
Very shabby.
Again.
I've used and loved it so much! I really didn't want get rid of it! It has the cutest matching wallet, too! And it's my favorite color!
I was at JoAnn's looking for a way to salvage it and found these wooden handles in the clearance bin. They were marked down to $3.97 (which I was thrilled with), but when I checked out, they ended up being only $.97!!! Score! I took them home and painted them to match!
Cheap, acrylic paint. I mixed these three colors to get the perfect shade.
I used the same paint, only a metalic brown to dab on the spot where the leather came off.
A little satin finish clear coat, and voila!
My cute purse has been given a second life for $.97 plus a little paint I already had!
I'm a happy girl again!
