DIY || #23 || CLEAR FLORAL STUDDED PURSE

Wednesday, May 28


I think it might be too obvious that spring time influenced this DIY project! Grab those plastic bags (or make your own like I did) and add that extra pop with one thing most people have in their house...nail polish! Here's what you'll need if you're doing it from scratch: nail polish, gold chain, gold clasps, scissors, 1/4 yard of polyurethane material, and a needle & thread.



So let's get started, shall we? First start by cutting the polyurethane into a square, then folding it into a neat envelope shape. Once, set sew the edges together, trim the excess with scissors and attach the golden clasps to the front. Then, the fun part! I first dotted the bag with white nail polish and then painted floral leaves with quick brush strokes in various other colors.


Lastly, punch two holes in the top corners of the bag with a hole punch or with scissors, clip the golden chains through the holes, and voila!

Marjorie is back!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. The time has come. Marjorie is officially back and ready to kick up some wicked sweet DIY projects again! I know many of you must be wondering where I have been over the past few months, and to be honest, it's nothing too exciting. Mostly it was a combination of starting this so-called 'real-life', working my first full-time job, studying for the MCAT exam (it is a life dominator), taking classes on the side, helping my parents with selling and starting a new venture, and blah blah blah. Essentially, I was stuck trying to get my life together. But let's get 'un-stuck', shall we? The summer sun is beginning to glow, the world's colors are poignant again, and the creative energy in me is dying to get out. Can't wait to share with you all the exciting projects to come! Now...what did I miss?
