Purse Pizzazz Marie Browning

These handbags are bold and beautiful—a varied selection with something to complement every outfit, fit every occasion, and suit every mood. They’re also fun and simple to make: many start with “fabric purse blanks,” which come from craft stores complete with handles and closures, ready to embellish. Or begin with a plain tote. The wide range of creative techniques to personalize the stylish bags includes decoupage, beading, appliquA©, ribbon work, rubber stamping, image transfer, and painting. Choose from popular styles such as cigar box purses, wooden purse boxes, shoulder bags, and clutches. Complete detailed instructions, a multitude of photos, and patterns are all included.
