My theme was metallic for this month’s In a New York Minute and I couldn’t wait to get started on this fun accessory! Five-step project, here we go!
Supplies you’ll need:
1. Rhinestones
2. Metallic envelope clutch/makeup bag/vintage purse (I scored this one at the Dollar Tree!)
3. E-6000 glue
Step 1: Begin by plotting out the design or pattern that you want the rhinestones to make on your bag.
Step 2: Once you have decided on your pattern, start gluing each stone down to the bag. I like to use a toothpick to assist in the gluing so it doesn’t stick to my fingers!
Step 3: Next make strap for the purse. Get creative and use anything that you might already have in your craft stash like ribbon, leather trim, or an old necklace. I repurposed a keychain that was basically a canvas strap attached to a key ring and just added rhinestones around the edge to match the bag.
Step 4: Let everything dry
New blingy, metallic purse RTW! Quick, easy, cheap – the perfect trifecta for a fun DIY!!
