Ok, so a while back I posted about wanting to make a Marilyn Monroe purse for my friend for her birthday. 

I bought the purse at a thrift store for 6$.. it's shiny vinyl.  I'm kind of wondering what to do with it now.

The purse..

Front with a zipper

Back..

So sorry about the shitty quality. 

So.  Here are my dillemas. 

1.  Can I paint on vinyl?  If so, what do I use? any special types of paint?

2.  Should I use the back as the front?  There's a zipper on the front and it might get in the way.

3.  I have a few ideas, but I would like the opinion of you women to help me out.  I could either paint something, fashion a sort of photo holder and slde a pic in, or I was thinking of embroidering a silhouette.

Help me girls, I know you can.

THanks in advance

 

I also want to spruce it up a bit, any ideas?
