Back to School Bag

My daughter wanted a new bag for school this year.

{She's going into the second grade and was tired of the Barbie back pack she got back when she started kindergarten.}

So long story short, because she needed a lesson in the value of the hard earned dollar, she did some extra chores and bought this cross body bag with her own money at Michaels.

With a 40% off coupon it was only $6.00!

I told her that I would dress it up a bit for her.

So I did.

I gathered my handy dandy glue gun, some left over fabric, and some beads and made a few flowers that I grouped together and glued onto the bag.

She loves it!

It's already hanging up and she's ready to go back to school in style.
