Do you remember my Cassette Case turned Chalkboard Memory Box post a few months back?  While out doing a little thrifting, I found that cassette case and this little gem of a fabric clutch.  This little lady had potential and for only $2.99 I knew I could do “something” to fancy her up.

I taped off the plastic handles.

Using my all time favorite *Rust-oleum gold spray paint, I gave her about three light coats of paint.

Thus began the first and second DIY fails.  

Using a silver paint pen, I painted/drew five thin lines along the fabric.  I traced over them three times to really intensify the color.

I also carried the lines up to the plastic handle.

This clutch is now a perfect combination of texture, color and GOLD.

I must say after I about threw this clutch out the window… I’m so glad I kept repainting and repainting because in the end I love it’s simplicity and stylish look now.  Have you done any fun thrift store update projects?
