Googly Eye Purse
Here’s an entertaining way to transform a purse or other accessory: Cover it with googly eyes.
The basic idea comes from Crafty Crafty, and although no instructions are provided the method seems pretty straightforward: 1) Get a bunch of googly eyes. 2) Glue ’em on.
I like the varying eye sizes on the purse; it adds a bit of textural interest.
You could do this with other kinds of eyes, too. There are many varieties of plastic eyes meant for dolls or stuffed animals, in all kinds of colors (like the creepy red ones I use in my zombie frogs). Some types have a plastic stem on the back, but they’re easily removed with wire cutters.
It’d be fun to cover a clutch with malevolently staring eyes. Tell people it’s where you keep your Mad Money. (:::snort, guffaw:::)

I’ve been wanting to cover a candy dish with googly eyes for ages, it just never makes it to the top of my project list. If I ever make it, it will sit on my desk at work and stare at the vultures when they eat all my candy.

That’s so cool. I’m not really much of a bag person, though. I may have to figure out something else to cover in googly eyes. A picture frame comes to mind. Or maybe a box. I like boxes.
