Not my favorite projects :(

Whenever I get a repair with woven or sewn seed beads, I always take a deep breathe and I think my eyes get bigger.  

Yeaterday, I received a purse with a broken strap. ( poor purse) 

While I know someone, somewhere spend their time and were probably paid close to nothing to make it, the beaded repair always has significance to its owner.  

Now I ask

• Does it have historical significance?
• Does it have emotional significance? 
• Does it have financial significance? 

if any of the above is yes, Italy be worth repairing. If the above are no. Don't do it!!! Lol

Update

Apparently I like a challenge. I bent my rules and used glue. The purse would have fallen apart otherwise.   

I added a mixed of 6 and 10mm faceted Czech glass beads spaced with a seed bead and made a shoulder bag.
