  Step 1

  - Purse with flat front flap (I thrifted mine for a couple dollars)

  You'll also need:

  - Scrap lace (enough to cover the front flap, plus a few inches all around)
  - Fabric scissors
  - Foam brush
  - Mod Podge/decopauge
  - Matching thread and sewing pins
  - Needle and thread, or sewing machine

• 

  Step 2

  1) Pin the edge of the lace, and sew.

• 

  Step 3

  This will give a finished overall look to your purse. The sewed edge will line up with the top

• 

  Step 4

  Using the foam brush, apply Mod Podge along the top of the purse's flap.

• 

  Step 5

  Lay the lace on top, patting lightly. Let dry until it's dry to the touch, so that it doesn't move around too much while you continue working.

• 

  Step 6

  At the corners, cut the lace. This will help the lace fold back under the purse's flap, with minimal to no bunching.

• 

  Step 7

  Repeat with the remaining corners.

• 

  Step 8

  The lace will fold up so much more neatly this way.

• 

  Step 9

  Turn the purse over, front side facing down. If needed, trim the excess lace a bit. Add Mod Podge to the edge.

• 

  Step 10

  Fold over the lace, adding more Mod Podge if necessary. Evenly disperse the Mod Podge over the lace.

• 

  Step 11

  Continue with the rest of the lace.

  NOTE: If your purse has hardware details such as this one, leave that side for last. I didn't mind covering the closure with lace, but you can always cut around it if needed.

• 

  Step 12

  Repeat on the other side.

• 

  Step 13

  I focused on adding Mod Podge to the entirety of each lace fold, especially the raw edges.

  Fold up the last of the lace; in my case, right where the hardware is. I made sure to trim the laces so that it didn't cover the actual closure.

• 

  Step 14

  Let dry completely.

• 

  Step 15

  Rock your new handbag! Try different variations with printed fabrics.
