I chose to leave the butterfly natural color of the purse but you may paint or use crayons to color it before using the glitter. If using Crayons be sure to check the TIPS and remove the wax before glittering.

**I used the Rainbow Glitter on Fabric Kit. It contained all the supplies needed except the purse, freezer paper, Ultra Fine Point Sharpie, iron, aluminum foil and oven.

Pattern

Instructions:

Iron freezer paper to the wrong side of the fabric behind the design. Wrap and tape the purse to a piece of stiff cardboard so it will not move and will form a firm working surface.

Trace the pattern on the purse using the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie. Working in small areas apply the Fabric Adhesive following the design. Add the glitter while the adhesive is still shiny and very wet for the best adhesion. Continue until the entire design has been glittered. Allow to air dry for 4 to 5 hours.

To cure: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Turn off oven once it is preheated. Remove the tape, cardboard and freezer paper, place the purse design side up on a foil-lined cookie sheet and place it in the turned off oven. Allow to remain in the oven undisturbed for 30 minutes. Your glittered purse is now ready to use.

You can wash the purse inside out in cold water, line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or dry-clean a glittered item
