Enhanced Handbag

Have you ever made felt flowers before? Me neither, but they are really fun and easy, I had it down after the first two or so!! I followed this great tutorial. It is very, very easy to do, not to mention addicting! I started making them and before I knew it, I had made a slew!

They look like ranunculus to me!

I picked up this fun, gently used handbag at my local DAV Thrift store for a whopping 1.48, and decided to jazz it up. I love the bamboo handles and I think the colors will be fun for the rest of the summer, aren't the paisleys fun?




After making my gazillion flowers, I glued them onto a separate piece of felt, concentrating on the composition and colorway


After I had all the flowers glued, I cut around the felt. I wanted the removable option, so I didn't want to glue directly on the handbag. Just in case I changed my mind, which I so often do...


I used some beads for further embellishment, then I attached the "bib" using safety pins on the inside.


I really like how it turned out!


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are inspired to personalize a handbag near you! :)
