111 Days to Go: Heather's NDAD Creation

I love accessories and purses especially.  I have quite a stash of vintage clutches that I just can't get rid of because you really never know when you'll need one!  When I took a look at Heather's remake, I knew she was a gal after my heart.  My accessories loving heart!

Greetings Marisa!!  My grandmother gave me an absolutely gorgeous, if somewhat bland, purse the other day.  Having been inspired by you before, I decided to try my hand at making it a little more interesting.  I recently got a henna tattoo on my ankle and I really loved the design, so onto the purse it went!

Time to check out Heather's henna tat-inspired purse!!!

At first, I sketched the design onto the purse with (get this) an old eyeliner pencil that I never used. (EYELINER!!!)  After I figured out what design I wanted to make, I went and grabbed some craft supplies. A lovely gold paint marker...

...some acrylic jewels we had laying around, and some tacky dots. These are way more convenient than glue and way less messy too :)

After cleaning off the eyeliner, I drew my design using the paint marker.  After it dried it already looked pretty fabulous but some final touches were still needed, so using the tacky dots, I stuck some acrylic jewels onto the design at a few key points...
