Project Re-Style #41 Vintage purse~ turned in to a Side Slung Bag.


 Welcome everyone, to my Project Re-Style day.
I am so happy to see a few more wonderful friends that have found my blog and that love DIY  as much as I do.  For anyone new, Welcome.!!   I do a Re-Style Project every Monday. This means,  I take something that I have that is old or tired and Re -vamp it into something new and different.  
All the details about Project Re-Style will be at the end of this post.

Today's Re-Style is going to be  A vintage lizard purse, that someone tried to fix with cheap and the  wrong color hardware. I picked up this baby about 9 months ago at a wonderful vintage shop.  I have worn it a couple of times but I wanted it to be more sturdy and more wearable, so I decided to turn Ms. lizard into  a side slung bag.

Tutorial
Things you need

1. Old Purse
2. Pliers
3. Chain (My chain is 42 inches)

 First Take off the old hardware with Pliers.

  Divide your New Chain in half.
With pliers open up the chain



  Attach to  both side of the chain to the  purse


 Then attach the chain to the top handle.
and that is all there is to it.

  5. I wondered where you found this great chain? I've been looking and can't find a double curb chain quite that large. Would you share where you found it?

    I just found your blog and OMG.. I am so in love.
