Maybe you caught my Target place-mat clutch DIY last year? I had so much fun with it that I wanted to try out another handbag made from budget-friendly things I found at Tarjaay.
what you will need:
straw handbag // I found mine in the $3 bins at Target!
craft spray paint // small bottles found at Hobby Lobby
clear acrylic spray // Hobby Lobby
painter's tape
the how-to:
1. tape off all of the areas you do not want to spray paint up
2. paint that thaaang + allow it to try
3. now spray it with the clear acrylic + let it dry again (for a good while)
4. love it, tote it around, show it off...yada yada. :)
I'll be toting one of these babes to Easter mass...Moo has a straw hat. Yeh. We're so ready for this resurrection.
...............
FYI:
I shortened the handles for the white one.
I love the look of a short tote...and this was a very easy way to make it happen.
* additional steps for shortening the handles:
1) un-stitch one side of each handle- you'll be left w/ a hole where the handle was
2) slide the handle back into the hole + push it in further than it was originally- until the handle is as small as you like
3) glue it in place + let it dry
Done!
