re-purposed 1950's handbag






I bought this bag at the South Hobart Tip shop...I bought it specifically to salvage the beads from it...the bag already had a large hole in it and was stained inside etc.

so it took me a little while but I removed all the beads...including the seed beads on the handle...then i washed the beads in a jar with warm soapy water and then let them sit in some white vinegar for a little while.


stay tuned for these beads to be turned into something new!!!
