Arts and Craft Project: Decorate a purse

Arts and Craft Project. Girls will like this one. Go to the Good Will, Salvation Army or a garage sale and buy a purse with a hard surface. Other items needed: Glue that dries clear. Tiny colored beads. One or two pretty postcards (famous picture at a museum/flowers/Paris...). Small can of Polyurethane. Paint brush.

What to do: Glue each postcard to middle section of purse. You the parent in ventilated area brush Polyurethane over postcard(s). Let dry. Now put a line of glue all around edges of postcard. Sprinkle beads in glue. Let dry. You can decorate purse more by using bigger beads or interesting buttons. Or if you’re making a French themed purse cut out French words or phrases, or pictures of French food. Glue them on purse. Polyurethane over. If you use extra pictures or cut out phrases I actually suggest you glue them on with the postcards in the beginning. Then Polyurethane all over side of purse. Then glue on beads. I made such a purse myself and had somebody offered to buy it from me.
