Painting

I've been--uh, obsessed lately with painting things. It's really interesting to take something that may not look so great and jazz it up with a bright pop of color or two!
Last week I painted this fax leather bag I had laying around! It's just one of those bags from forever 21, you know, the generic slouchy tote. I merely painted it with two coats of Tulip fabric paint, and its as good as new. Oh, did I forget to mention that I absolutely adore it now? 
Now I'm just asking myself what I should paint next.

I really love that refashion! You definitely made the bag way better than it was to start off with.

Oh wow! It's so cute now. I've never really used fabric paint before on faux leather. Does it seem like it'll hold for long?

I've been using the bag all week and it hasn't flaked at all. I was worried about that, but decided to wing it anyway! It seems to be holding up fine.
