This was very fast. I found some paper backed wood flooring scraps in my stash. I cut a piece to fit the inside top of the purse and one for the hinge and back part. That turned it into the floor of the closet.
Then I found a piece of real sized wallpaper to fit the inside back and sides. I cut it just by pushing it into the purse and bending it where it needed to be cut.
When I got it in, I didn't like the color of the stripes, so I painted it Antique White with Ceramcoat.
I trimmed out the flooring with leftover strips.
Then I added strips of leather to cover the edges.
I cut shelves from 3/32" basswood, a little shallower than the body of the purse and trimmed them with a strip of cove molding on the front of each shelf.
Those were also painted antique white.
Basically, that was it.
I pounded a nail in the wall...Filled the thing with some of Tessie's bags that were scattered all over the house.
She immediately moved in. I expect that to keep her happy for a day or two.
I have to go to the mini meeting this afternoon. She sabotaged herself. By putting in shelves, she can't hide inside and go along to the meeting...Too bad...
I have to go get ready now.
See you tomorrow.

I love this project it's so cute! I love to scour antique shops for small bags, suitcases, jewelery boxes, cigar boxes, or anything else that could possibly house a mini scene. I actually prefer this as a way of doing miniature scenes then standard room boxes. It's less expenses and forces you to be creative! I made my Grandpa a miniature scene that fit into an old chess box with a lid. He loves it! It has pride of place on his coffee table.
Buena idea¡¡¡
Muy original y atrevida, me gusta
