I purchased all the ingredients for this DIY months ago and finally had time to put it together. My inspiration were the Mawi bags that I saw on Moda Operandi. I found most of the items at Bealls Outlet and was able to keep the cost under $25.00. Considering the cost of Mawi bags which range from $948 to $666, the bag was a steal. After all, I have a baby to save for!
Ingredients:
- Mod Podge
- 2 – 4 oz Blue Glitter
- Scissors
- Jewelry Pliers or Needle Nose Pliers
- Necklace and Earrings with skinny crystals
- Bracelet with cool embellishment and a flat backing
- Clear Acrylic Sealer in Glossy (mine was by Plaid)
- Paint and Foam Brushes
- Ziploc Bags
- Masking Tape
- Quick Grip All Purpose Adhesive or Plastic Glue
Step 1
Step 1
Step 2
Pour 4 oz of glitter into Ziplock Bag
Step 3
Close Ziploc Bag and mix the glitter and Mod Podge together.
Step 4
Paint on the glitter and Mod Podge mixture to cover all the blue areas of the purse. Take care to avoid the silver areas.
Step 5
Shake on the excess glitter. Allow purse to dry overnight.
Step 6
Tape off the silver parts of the bag,
Step 7
Spray glitter area with Acrylic Sealer.
Step 8
Take apart the necklace, bracket and earrings using jewelry plies and scissors.
Step 9
Using plastic adhesive, glue on the crystals and embellishment in a symmetrical design. Here are some ideas for the embellishment design. Once the purse is completely dry, shake purse over the garbage to get loose glitter off the purse.
