Isn't this fun?
It was so easy, I can hardly stand it!! Ever since I saw Jessica's tutorial at Happy Together for the petal backpack (you've all seen that by now, right??) I've been thinking about this little vintage clutch I picked up at a thrift store once (for a quarter!!). I'll show you how I did it....
My supplies:
1 vintage clutch, 1 can of metallic gold spray paint, and 4 "silk" flowers from the dollar store.
I took apart the flowers and sprayed the petals, and a light coat on my clutch as well, in case it peeks out anywhere.
Then I cut my petals apart....
Used a glue gun to glue the petals on the clutch, biggest petals on the bottom....
In-between sized on the middle row....
and smallest on top!
Then I glued a strand of grey glass pearls on, and finished it with a little foam flower that was in a potpourri basket I had (hey, I use what I have!).

So creative and elegant with a vintage look! My favorite :)
CUTE!!! Thank you for entering my giveaway and for the award! I'm still trying to think of who to give it to and interesting things about me... have to really think hard on that. Lol Thank you again! -Kelsee
So pretty! You can get bags of faux rose petals at the dollar store in the wedding section, too... just to avoid the extra step of cutting up the flowers (if you want). I'll definitely link to this on Dollar Store Crafts in a few weeks. You are on a roll!!
I love it! I'm usually not a gold person but I love it on the clutch. Now to go find one...
elegant! unique! Awesome!
It looks great. I think I need to go and buy some spray paint now!
LOVE this!! It's going on our "To Do" list right now!
beyond adorable! And of course, I don't have ANY of these things on hand. It's just cruel, is what it is.
Stopping by from SITS! Very cute! Too fancy for a country girl like me... but beautiful!

Soooo cute! I think these would make adorable bridesmaids gifts :)
I loved using a glue gun when I was a kid. This is yet another reason to buy one as an adult, I'm sure I could find a lot of use for it.
I wish I was this talented!

I love it! When I first glanced at the picture, I figured you had to "burn" the edges of fabric to make the petals...but you actually used silk petals! I wouldn't have thought to spray paint it all. Great idea!
