Let’s be real people, half of the things we see on Pinterest look cool online but when you do them in real life….they cost twice as much, turn out nasty and take all day to work on. Well, I saw this idea for a painted clutch and I decided to try it. I couldn’t find a paint color I liked so I went with a wide ribbon instead. I ended up making two different ones because I am giving it as a gift to a friend.
Also these took about 30 minutes and that was with me making a lot of mistakes so I had to go back and correct them a lot. If you are craftier than I am, it’ll take you like 15 minutes for 2!
So this is what you need:
The total cost for all of this was $15 but if I would have had a 40% coupon for Hobby Lobby it would have been cheaper. Also any permanent tape would work but I wanted to be sure I got a tape for material.
