A very easy and affordable way to be fashionable is to decoupage an old or new purse.


Supplies
A purse made from leather, fake leather or hard plastic
White PVA glue
Paper for decoupage and brown paper
Glitter, water –based varnish, beads

Make templates on the brown paper using your purse as model.


Cut the pieces on the decoupage paper.

Glue them to purse starting from the bottom. Let it dry 

 
Add a generous coat of glitter to the decoupage purse. Let it dry.

Paint 10 coats of acrylic varnish allowing drying time between them.
Make a handle using the beads that match the color of your purse. Vintage beads are great to do it.

Now you have a unique accessory to match your clothes. You can even do one for each occasion since they are so easy and the results are very beautiful.
