A few weeks ago I shared my Pastel Spring Tablescape. I think my favorite part of the whole table was my DIY Spring Handbag Centerpiece.
This post was updated October 2025.
I thought it would be really fun to show you how to make your own.
For little, to NO cost.
To make your own DIY Spring Handbag Centerpiece, you will need:
*faux white hydrangeas-optional
*your imagination
I found my straw handbag at Dillard’s last year. But you can find something very similar here.
And, my faux peonies are from Walmart. Pretty ones are found here, too.
I made my DIY Spring Handbag Centerpiece in just a few easy steps. With the idea that it was not a permanent piece. Then I could still use it as my Spring/Summer handbag.
I placed the faux flowers in first. Using the theory of “3s”. You can learn more about that here.
The premise is that odd numbers work best in creating a floral arrangement. For height, balance and weight.
I tucked in 3 stems of greenery between the flowers. Making sure I could still see the lovely beaded handle. (Isn’t it stunning?)
For more texture and interest, I tied a sheer scarf onto the side of the straw handbag. It is a vintage scarf from my mom. I like how the colors blend, but aren’t exact tones.
Also in the above picture, you can see that I added a stem of white hydrangeas. This gives a fuller look. As I always say, “If you like it, then it is perfect.” So, if you want the fuller style, add more.
What I like most about it, is that there isn’t another centerpiece like this anywhere. I used my imagination to create a one of a kind DIY Spring Handbag Centerpiece.
There are so many other ideas YOU can come up with, too. Maybe you already have a handbag that you would like to use, different color flowers, add some sticks or greenery from your own trees. It would be fun to design for any holiday, too. There are so many options to choose from.
I hope I have helped you a little to get your own creative juices flowing.
Thanks for stopping by and making my day brighter.
Meegan, you always come up with the most darling ideas and I love this one for using a handbag for your centrepiece. The straw bag is perfect for spring.
Thank you for sharing this DIY project at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring it at tomorrow’s party and pinning too!
Hugs,
