Trendy Fashion clutch for under $5.00

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.

My version for just under $5.00

Supplies needed

lined napkin
Button
Pins, Velcro
Sewing machine
Thread, needle
Scotch fabric seal

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.

Voila done, a trendy clutch for under $5.00.

Here it is again.

Have a great week everyone,
Maggie

Ready for Christmas

This is a fun altered Printer's Tray box I have done to get in a Christmas spirit.

This is the completed box!

love the faux scrabble tiles!

Dreamweaver Stencil with Crackle Paste and some color brushed on top. Add a bottle of snow, some mosaic tiles and Goosebumps from Tsukineko, you have a fun area created!
