DIY: Sequin Heart Shaped Purse

Valentine’s is days away… show of hands who has a hot date?!?! Well don’t be too jealous of me because I’ll be spending my Valentine’s night curled up on my couch, playing kissy face with a quart of Haagen Dazs rocky road ice cream and watching SCANDAL!! #OkBeJealous Anywho, if I had plans on Thursday night that required me to put on actually clothes and not just my PJs, this heart shaped sequined purse would be my go to accessory. It’s so festive and so easy to make!

Materials: Sturdy Fabric*, Sequins, Glue, Needle and Thread, Chain, Safety Pins, Scissors

*I used an ultra suede fabric for this project

Create a heart shaped stencil* out of paper then trace the shape directly to your fabric.

*Be sure to add about a half inch seam allowance to your stencil

Cut out two equally shaped fabric hearts.

Place your fabric pieces one on top of another and use your needle and thread and sew up the sides. Be sure to leave an opening for your purse and DO NOT sew up the top of the heart.

After you’ve sewn up the sides, flip your heart right side out to hide your seam.

Add a health amount of glue and apply your sequins

Completely cover your hear in sequins Using your safety pins, attach the chain to the inside of your heart
