Upcycled lace & bits into purses
The bigger purse has elements like the “Handle with Care” tag and the little bag with the scissor taken off the inside of other garments … just to add a little fun! I started these two bags about 3 weeks ago by pinning on all the lace and things. Then, when I had a few…
