I love drawing inspiration from Anthro. They combine and use fabrics in such imaginative ways. But being the poor teacher that I am, it's not like I can afford to drop $68 on things like this. But I can refashion a forlorn black purse doomed to the bottom of my closet into something chic and fun.
Enter old purse. I don't remember what it originally cost me, but it was 1) definitely from Kohls and 2) definitely on sale. I can't tell if it's real leather or nice faux. It's so old that the leathery smell is very, very faint.

After some cutting....
and some painting....
and some stitching...
Voila!
Come visit me at Wunderbar for more pictures and details about this project.

I love this idea. I have had so many old bags and purses that I've found after many years and wondered what in the world I was thinking. This is a great idea for turning it into something wonderful!
This is such a great idea - I especially like the use of paint to create the spots - very cute.
