Super Easy Purse DIY

I was slowly browsing the aisles in Hobby Lobby when I spotted a cute black and white tote.

I picked it up off the rack thinking about how I was in need of a new purse.

But I couldn't just carry around a plain old tote- even if it did have chevron stripes.

 

 

So I stood there wondering what I could do to give it a little pep.

Flowers make anything look better, so I picked up a few.

Voila! My new purse!

 

To make it, all I used was a tote and three pre-made flowers and a glue gun.

 

The flowers are from a new line that Hobby Lobby is carrying called Fashion Tid Bits.

They have both a pin and a clip on the backs.

This line has a ton of beautiful flowers.

I had a hard time deciding on only three.

 

I pinned the flowers in a triangle on the right side of the bag.

Then I used my glue gun and put some glue around the pins to make sure

they weren't going to fall off.

 

 

I really don't think you can make a purse any easier than this!

Isn't it darling?

 

I added a hankie that I had picked up at an estate sale.

I can't decide whether I like it better with it or without it.

What do you think?

 

I used a 40% off coupon on my tote, so it was only $7.

I paid three dollars for each flower (I was so excited to make the project, I didn't want to wait for them to go on sale. Sometimes I just have to pay full price:).

All together this purse cost less than $20 including the vintage hankie.

Cute and reasonable, I'd say.

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day! Hope it's a lovely one:)

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
