DIY | Diamonds & Pearls Handbag | BellaGemaNails

Description

Love Buggies!
Show More Love Buggies!

Diamonds and pearls are the theme for this bag. Who would’ve thought that you could make a $35 plastic bag look like a pile of diamonds!

This does not look like a $35 purse. I’ve seen similar bags displayed at fancy hotels for 1000s upon 1000s. Now, you could have your very own!

TIP: Always take the measurements of the bag into account when buying charms for your project. You want to make sure that all items will fit. I took the bag to the supply store to measure against the stones before purchase. Be careful handling your embellished bag, these are showpieces and are to be handled with care.

If you’re embellishing the back of your bag, make sure you don’t use charms that will snag on your clothes.

ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m so happy to announce that BellaGemaNails now has a virtual storefront via Amazon. One easy click of the link and it will take you to many of the items I’ve used to create some of your favorite designs! https://www.amazon.com/shop/bellagemanails

For those of you not located in the L.A area I’m considering the launch of my online store that will have stones for sale, as well as other ready to wear items. The price of shipping is a large factor as many other variables. I’m working on fine-tuning the details in order to make all my designs and items used easily accessible for purchase. If you would like that, thumbs up or pop your comment below!
