Spring Purse DIY

We have been thoroughly enjoying this new Spring season.  The sun has been shining, the weather has been beautiful, and the flowers are blooming.  I felt so inspired by the beauty around me that I decided to whip up a cheerful little purse to match my mood!

Here are some supplies you might need for such a project:  a straw purse (this one was thrifted for $2), some fake flowers, fabric, scissors, and hot glue.  In all, this project probably cost me $8.

First, take the fabric you've chosen and tear 3 or 4 long strips, depending on how big your purse is.  

 Wrap these strips around the purse and tie in a knot.  This will be the back of your purse.

Now, pop your flowers off of the stems.

Snip off the plastic piece on the back as close to the flower as possible.

Arrange your flowers on the front of the bag and hot glue into place.  Be as creative as you want!

All finished!

We were actually so pleased with the end result that Hope wanted to make one for herself as well.  More matching things... my favorite.  :)

Happy crafting!  xoxo Katie
