Accessories Creating With Joy Fabric Lorrie McCullers painting on letters Purse

Colored hearts make this little purse something to love!

I have a confession: I am a purse hoarder! I absolutely love purses, and I have a ridiculous number of them stashed away in closets and boxes. I refuse to get rid of any of them because I never know when I might want to put it back in my purse rotation. For example, take this little denim crossbody purse. It was cute and still in perfect shape, but it was a little plain so I decided to bring it back to life with some fabric paint and Joy® embroidered iron-on hearts!

You need:

Joy® embroidered iron on hearts
purse (preferably denim or another fabric that can be ironed)
fabric paint
brushes
iron

Instructions: 1. Paint the hearts using fabric paint and flat brushes. I painted each of mine a different color, but use your imagination! Joy letters are so easy to paint! Allow 24 hours to air dry.

2. Following instructions on the packaging, iron the hearts onto to the front of the purse using a pressing cloth.

Yes! It's that easy..... Enjoy your "new" purse!

Joy® iron-on embroidered letters and numbers are available in a variety of sizes, colors, and fonts at your local craft stores.
