PAINTER'S PURSE DIY

Inspired by Elsa Schiaparelli & Frida Kahlo 

So I DIY'ed on top of a coach bag... and you can too!

Materials:

• A handbag with a flat front
• A piece of material for the palette... I used a scrap of suede but you can use felt, cardboard, or an actual palette instead.
• Acrylic paint in various colors
• Fabric glue
• A paint brush (for decoration)
• Hot glue gun
• Pattern making stuff

Kay let's do this!

Step 1:

Make a pattern.  I freehanded this but you could also trace an actual palette.  I think if your palette looks like Pacman you've done a good job.

Step 2: Mucho Importante!

Make sure the pattern fits your bag before you cut your material!

Step 3:

Cut it out! (literally)

Step 4:

Blob some paint down how you see fit.  Let dry

Step 5:

Glue the palette onto the bag with fabric glue.  Use a hot glue gun to attach the paintbrush.

                                                                            Voila
