DIY: How to Make a Little Girl’s Designer Purse
By Cynthia J. Williams
CJW Design Village
What you will need:
1 sponge or paint brush
1 small purse
1 8.5 x 11 sheet of scrapbook paper (your choose of color)
1 package of stickers of a character your child likes
Mod Podge

I purchased a little used purse at a thrift store for .50 cents it just needed a little cleaning. I wiped the purse clean and let it dry. Then opened the purse and laid it back side down on the scrapbook paper. And traced an outline of the purse for a template.



Then I covered the top side of the purse with the paper color side up. Painted all of the paper with the mod podge and let dry. Mod podge dries clear. When it’s dry add another coat. Let dry.
Now arrange the stickers how and where you want them on the purse. Your chose of how many stickers you want to use. I left room on the purse in case my granddaughter wanted to add more stickers when I gave her the purse.
Now cover the purse again with a coat of mod podge and let dry. When dry add another coat and let dry again.





And now you have a beautiful designer purse to give as a gift. Or make it together with the little girl in your life.

Enjoy,
Cynthia
