Fun Flower-Purse Wall Art

Shelley was busy hauling her painting supplies to her various jobs creating wall murals when she decided she wanted to come up with a project that would require less heavy labor. So, she started painting on canvas and making purses. In this project, she makes a fun "purse-themed" piece of wall art.

Materials:

artist's canvas
small silk roses and other small flowers
acrylic paint
wire
hot-melt glue gun and glue sticks
paint marker (optional)

1. Start with any size pre-primed canvas. Ours is 5" x 7". Paint base colors and allow to dry at least one hour.

2. Glue small rosebuds and other small silk flowers to the canvas in the shape of a purse. You can draw the shape in first and then fill in to make sure you get the shape right. Use a hot glue gun for faster drying (hot-melt glue sticks)

3. Use any bendable wire to shape a handle and glue it into place behind the flowers on each side.

4. Add a rhinestone button for the purse snap.

5. If this project is for a little girls room, you can add her name above the purse with paint markers.
