I was looking at all the Fall 2012 fashion shows from the trendiest fashion houses, and found a number of the shows features clutches for Fall and Winter. As cute as they are I will never be able to afford not even the simplest clutch at $821.00. What is a girl to do in that situation? I’m glad you asked because as crafters there’s always a way to do something fun, creative by using what we have.
Today I’m going to show you how you can create one not even for $15.00 or 10.00 dollars, are you ready for this? $5.00. yep you read it right just $5.00.

This will make an awesome Christmas gift as well.


This was my inspiration @$821.00.

Instructions:
  • Remove any sticker from the napkin, spray with the Scotch sealant let dry for 30 minutes. It will keep the clutch from getting dirty too fast.
  • Fold the napkin in 1/3 like below on the wrong side.

  • Stitch each side, then turn inside out.
  • Sew button by hand to the top flap, attached Velcro under the flap to top of flap and bottom to keep the clutch close.
