Finished Altered Canvas Bag.

If there is anything that I am guilty of on this blog, it’s being very enthusiastic about my latest carboot bargains, saying what I am going to do with them and then putting them on hold for months on end …..

My sister found the “Paris” badge set in Accessorize (£3) and when I rummaged through my bits and pieces box I found these vintage poodle and Eifel Tower brooches, perfect for my French theme.

I’ve only decorated on side of the bag, because I thought the embellishments would catch on my clothes.

I made a couple of flowers using gingham ribbon, perhaps the red one could have been a little smaller (I used 1.5 inch ribbon), and put an Accessorize badge in the middle of each.

I didn’t mean to put a ribbon with the black poodle ….. but it hides an over zealous blob of glue I needed to hide!

The pictures make it looked a bit squashed and crowded, but I think I have got the balance about right.
