To Make Your Purses Into Wall Art You Will Ned:

1 Pre Made Canvas

Ribbon

Staple Gun

Paints

Fabric

Paint Brushes

1 S Hook

To get started you will need one pre stretched canvas from the art store. You will want to measure your purse first. See how tall and wide it is. Now, buy a canvas that is as least the same size or slightly larger.

Now, on to decorating. You first want to paint your canvas to be the back drop for your purse art. This really can be any design that you want, but here are some ideas:

Vintage wall paper is an awesome inspiration. You can buy a small piece of vintage wall paper and apply it to your canvas. Another option is to use a photo of your favorite wall paper and paint the same design on the canvas using acrylic paints.

Another awesome idea is to stretch a piece of fabric over the canvas and staple it into place with a staple gun on the back.

Now, once any paint or wall paper glue has dried you want to install your ribbon. This will be how you will hang your purse.

Now, take your ribbon and cut it to about 14 inches long. You will need to adjust this length if your canvas is large.

Staple the two ends to the back of the canvas. One will need to be on the top left corner and one on the top right. Have the middle of the ribbon hang in front on the canvas.

Tips: You may want to staple this on top of the stretched canvas into the wood as well. This will help the ribbon to hang forward and lay flat.

Now, slip an S hook onto the middle front of the ribbon. You can hang your purse on the S hook and have it displayed like art!

Use picture hanging wire on the back of the canvas to hang on the wall and enjoy!
