I am no DIY goddess but after hanging around Mel, the idea of DIY is starting to rub off. I am finding things in my closet that I hardly use and thinking with a slight tweek they could become new again.
In February’s issue of Lucky Magazine I saw an article about dyeing clothing and they included handbags which I had no idea this was even possible! These two bags came to mind. They sit in my closet barely used and I always thought if they were another color, I’d use them all the time.
I immediately ordered the leather dye and gave it a shot….I am totally in love!! Each color cost me $6.99 and I have 2 completely new handbags!! Freaking Brilliant!
BEFORE:
Bag – Hammitt Los Angeles
Clutch – Vintage (found on ebay years ago)
AFTER:
Disclaimer: This is super messy and gloves are necessary if you don’t want to destroy your mani. I learned this the hard way! Also good to note, it takes several coats (transation: several hours) to get the color perfect.
