LEOPARD PRINT + RUFFLES

SUPPLIES

 STEP 1: Using a template, cut out several same-size circles. The circles can be as big or as small as you want, but keep in mind that the bigger the circles, the quicker you'll finish (learned this the hard way :)

STEP 2: Once you have your circles cut, you can start making your petals/ruffles. 

How-to: Fold a circle in half, then fold the half circle to make a quarter. Using a dab of glue at the fold, hold the petal together.

You can make all the petals at once, and get them ready to glue on your surface, or you can glue as you go. This way worked better for me.

STEP 3: Start gluing the pieces to your surface. Overlapping them slightly as you go

Keep going.......until.....

.....it's fully covered. I think it looks a little like a hedgehog, no? :)

Step 4: Punch a hole, add a rivet and put a chain strap, if your purse doesn't already have one

DIY LEOPARD RUFFLE PURSE.

I was waaaay too lazy to cover the other side, but here's what I learned doing this: 1) Use larger sized circles! It'll make it go a whole lot faster! 2) Don't space the petals too close together, again, so it all goes a little faster 3) Use lighter/less weighty fabric 4) Don't lay down the petals in the same way/direction. Alternate it, so you have a fuller effect at the end. All in all, a fun diy, if a little time consuming. I'll def be trying this again soon!

 Happy diy'ing!
