March 19, 2010

GLAM'IN UP!

I saw this idea on the sassytrash blog http://sassytrash.blogspot.com/2009/11/vintage-handbag-project.html and just had to try it. 
I picked this vintage purse up at a thrift store ages ago and simply glued a vintage
photo frame to the front of it.  The picture is a print off the computer.
I'll be back to looking for old purses at the thrift stores now!
Happy day!

I love that,, it looks terrific...I collect vintage purses, mostly in silver sparkle...

I hang them off my towel bar in the bathroom on display! I usually put on an old broach or pin for a touch of whimsy...

Embellishing is so much fun, you did a great job, nice picture too!
thanks for sharing.

Hi Janis,
Now that's a really neat idea. I like it. I have some old purses in my shop booth that could use some glam up!

Thanks for the tip.
