Trendy Fashion clutch for under $5.00

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

Trendy Fashion clutch for under $5.00

Where have you gone to MOJO?

 

Hi Everyone,

Since the divorce and moving, I’ve lost my mojo. I’ve not submitted any work to magazine nor have I fulfilled any of the assignments I was given. Mojo is gone, I have not create any layouts since December. Now you know this is a major crisis since Scrapbooking was my career right?

I was at scrappy boutique store for the first time in a very long time. I was excited however to see what they are created, so guess what? I’m going cropping with my friends next month :)

 

IF you see mojo please send it back to me :) Click on the images to see them larger.

Here’s a mini album that inspired me using the Teresa Collins line  created for the store display, they have fabulous ideas all over the store:)

 

 

 

 

have a great day send Mojo back :)

Where have you gone to MOJO?

Counting down to Christmas with a menu and coupons!

Hello Everyone,

Chances are you have a friend or co-worker still wondering what to get them? here’s a simple quick idea. Desktop or wall Calendar.

Desktop or wall Calendar 2011

Supplies:

• Graphic45 Debutante and Christmas past line
• Want2scrap rhinestones
• Rub n buff
• Glue Dots International
• Iridescent Medium
• Ranger distress ink
• Ribbon
• Pearl Ex
• Ek Success scallop punch
• Embellishments
• Calendar download

How to:

• Remove the glass from the frame and mix a bit of the iridescent medium with Pearl ex. With a brush cover the mat with your chosen color. I chose a light gold. Let dry 5 min.

• Use distress ink to edge the mat insert.

• Cut Graphic45 paper of choice by using the mat as your guide.

• Print calendar and reduce the size to fit the glass frame. Use distress ink on the printed calendar too. Adhere to the bottom of the paper right under the mat.

• Cut a strip of coordinating Graphic45 paper using the scallop punch. Distress the edge and adhere to the top of the calendar to cover the cut line.

• Cut a strip of ribbon and adhere to the top of the scallop strip.

• Replace glass top and insert into the frame.

Now for decorating the glass portion!

Follow Miss Tracy's directions to make a rosette from yesterday’s post .

• Add rhinestones from Want2srap to the center of the flowers on the glass.

• Add flourish rhinestones and add more rhinestones to create visual interest.

TIP:

I cut the flourish to fit the size I needed and added more rhinestones to match the rose centers.

• Adhere rosettes with Glue Dots. Adhere embellished tag from Graphic 45 Debutante collection then add buttons.

TIP:

I ran out of the medium sized buttons so instead I colored a white button with E79 to fit the color scheme I needed.

• I added another circle to the tag and rhinestones to complete the look.

• The frame was too shiny for me so I used Rub n Buff to add more of a patina.

Voila you are done!
Here is the final Calendar!
