I've been wanting a bright yellow purse for a few years. I just think it's the perfect cheerful bag for summer. On a recent trip to Goodwill, I saw this Liz Claiborne purse and loved the size, color, style - everything except the gold hardware with the flower/butterfly/LC designs on it.

So, I decided to get the purse and be a little crafty! I bought some chevron print fabric and mod podge and went to work!
First I covered the big buckle with the chevron fabric. Then I covered the little squares with the fabric, and it looked sloppy. So, I decided to just paint them instead. I had some gray acrylic paint leftover from this project, so I didn't even have to buy anything extra.
Here's the final result - I really like it!
Have you ever DIY'ed a purse to make it more your style? What other ideas do you have?
I haven't had the chance to DIY any of my purses or shoes yet, but I would love to. I think it's amazing how people redo certain things to make them up-to-date or to make it more their style. I love how you envisioned the purse a different way then made it happen. :) Great DIY! Love the yellow, too!
