Easy DIY projects are my favorite. I love the instant gratification. My clutch is one such project. I spiced up a thrifted grey clutch with a few coats of cobalt teal acrylic paint.
Presto. Change-o. Done!
It didn't take much paint either. You will be seeing this color on more bags, shoes, and whatever else I can think of.
What do think?

ReplyDeleteLove the contrast!...Did you treat the bag with anything prior to painting?
ReplyDeleteNope. I looked at some tutorials online and in the end went with simple and fast. Several coats of paint and a layer of mod podge to seal.
DeleteThat's a great DIY! What was the drying time?
ReplyDeleteHugs and Mocha,
Stesha
I applied 2 or 3 coats and let it dry overnight then reapplied maybe 2 more coats let it dry. Mod podged the next day.
DeleteOh my gosh!! I saw that on youtube and thought it was such a cute idea...and you did it!! LOVE it!!!
