Upscale a Fabric Wallet with Acrylic Paint and Decorative Trim
Thrift store finds, like this brand-name fabric wallet by Vera Bradley®, offer wonderful opportunities for upscaling or repurposing. When I found this wallet in particular, I liked it alright … *but* the fabric colors … not as much (I forgot to snap the original fabric, my bad … but just to give you a mental image, it was black fabric with a faded white, and mustard yellow floral print).
Luckily, the wallet’s lackluster fabric was nothing a little paint and trim couldn’t fix 🙂
Here’s a brief overview 👇🏽 of how I went about the wallet’s transformation; a list of supplies is also shared thereafter:
Here’s the final, beautiful result 👇🏽
