When shopping at a thrift store, I am always looking at how to change something up.

As I gazed at the purse, a sense of admiration stirred within me. Its sleek design and timeless elegance captivated my attention instantly. I couldn’t help but feel drawn to it, but as I examined it closely, a nagging feeling crept in – it was missing something. Despite its apparent charm, there was a subtle emptiness to it that left me wanting more.

Upon further inspection, I realized that the purse lacked a personal touch. It was beautiful in its own right, but it seemed to be missing that unique element that would make it truly stand out. As I pondered this, ideas began to swirl in my mind. Perhaps a pop of color or a quirky embellishment would inject personality into this otherwise perfect piece.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and give the purse the makeover it deserved. I’ve had these beads that I found years ago. Tag was still on them.  I had planned to use them on a shirt as an attached necklace but I would always change my mind. Glad I did.

All I used was a glue gun, beads, a necklace and a little imagination … TA-DA!! Now I’ve got a one of a kind clutch.
