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

My little obsession for this week!

That is right as women it’s our right to have a closet full of yummy clothes.Don't you agree?

I don’t know what it is but lately I’ve been obsessing about nail polish and have began to collect quite a few…
I want to have all these colours from Mac new colour palette except for the pink it’s too light for me.







The first Ombre set nail polish in 1 packet.






and this one.

Now colorful cuffs, I’m looking for something similar but under $50.00 if you come across one please leave a link.









These are beyond adorable and functional at only $10.00 a steal.







I will take this anytime








Have a great day,
Maggie

My little obsession for this week!

Let’s go to the Looking glass!

 

Hi Everyone,

As you know one of my many passions are Jewelry, preferably big statement items. I have this amazing store in Winter Park, that continuously feed my addiction for bold statement jewelry.

Do you have a store that feed your addiction?

 

Yes it’s me in the blue with my bestie Deb :)

Let’s go to the Looking glass!

Manicures and Audrey Hepburn!

 

 

hi Everyone,

"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick." -Audrey Hepburn

To me there’s nothing more luxurious than a beautiful manicure, Aubrey Hepburn said it very well above :)

This is an easy way to have fun with your nails by using crackle. I’m loving the Hunger game line by China Glaze

Supplies:

• China Glaze hunger game line,
• Revlon Crackle duo nail polish,
• Sally Hansen Diamond finish clear coat.

First start by applying the base colour, let dry.

 

Apply the crackle finish, let dry.

 

 

Voila a fun way to apply texture and art to your manicure :)

Which hunger game colour will you be getting?

Have a great day,

Maggie

Manicures and Audrey Hepburn!

Furniture Redo in 30 minutes!

 

 

hi Everyone,

I’ve watched tons of YouTube videos, and followed several great furniture diy guru that have linked at passionately artistic linking parties.

I went to Lowes purchased everything I need, I’m pretty sure you know what happen next.

I turned on the sander at first swipe I took most of the wood off and chip the finish, yep that’s what happen. Did I mentioned I’ve had this dresser since I was 12 years old, yep it’s an antique alright :)

Here’s how to fix the booboo :) shhhh….. no one will know. I promise :)

All wasn’t lost, I went back to my knowledge of crafting used paints and distressed it like it was supposed to be that way.

Here’s what I have used!

 

• Add a mixture of the champagne and glaze together then paint sporadic section of the dresser using a medium size brush.
• Repeat the same process for the Espresso let dry.
• Add faint line by using the same mixtures as above to create distress lines, let dry.
• Distress the corners using a sander lightly, then repeat the process above.

 

 

Once dry change the dryer pulls, I purchased these at Hobby Lobby while they were 50% off.

Here’s the finished dresser, very easy :)

have a fantastic day :)

• Add colour let dry

 

 

• Rub sticker with pad of fingertip gently over the nail

Isabel Toledo for Payless

 

Hi Everyone,

Shoes are one thing that I splurge on, therefor I refuse to wear cheap shoes, due to the fact my shoes take a beating and must last a long time.

However there are exceptions to the rules, I fell head over heels in luv this shoe and I knew I had to have it.

What do you think? what do you splurge on?

This fashion-forward pump from designer Isabel Toledo features a glossy patent upper with colorful woven detail on the wide t-strap, adjustable ankle strap with buckle accent, lightly padded insole for comfort, and a 3" heel with slight platform. Manmade materials.

 

Here is this beauty in my closet :) best thing I got it in the store using a 20% off coupon.

 

 

 

 

Have a great day,

Forever 21 makes accessorizing your wardrobe  easy, H&M have a great selection under $10.00, even if you just wear Jeans, you can update your style easily..

Sequin are all the rage for Fall, but when you have curves, it will accentuate curves you don't want to accentuate, it's best to go into moderation, such as this sequin shirt I am wearing today, with the shrug I showed you on this post..

My accessories are simple and fun.. chunky bracelet, Alligator ring, Smokey eye shadow, I'm set to go paint the town :)
