A clutch like this is frivolous and unnecessary except for the most special occasions. It calls to the princess inside...that part of me quick to go on a wild tangent over a few bits of cloth. Which is exactly why I love this sort of project. It's girly, extravagant and similar bags are well beyond my price point at my favorite stores...so what better fodder for a refashionista, huh?
I used a clutch I found at Plato's Closet for $4.
I suppose you could cut all these out by hand, but I really recommend using a cutting machine like a Sixxix BigShot, which my 7-year-old used to create all these flowers in about 10 minutes.
What a cute cluth. Great way to refashion it into something cute and one of a kind at a great price. I'm sure you will get lots of commpliments.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out DARLING!! What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSomething so princess-y for so little! Who knew? And just think, I have all that crystal organza and satin left over from having my wedding dress made... :)
ReplyDeleteI have a clutch that was a free gift with fragrance purchase that just might become a "princess" clutch. thanks for the idea!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I need a cutter like that. :) I think these would be darling on hair clips or as corsages too. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - you really bring a touch of art in what you do.

Lovely! I was recently shopping for a clutch purse and shocked by the price tags. Great tutorial!
ReplyDeletevery pretty..those flowers look like a necklace I recently wore on my blog..it was sold at anthropologie and I cant remember the price but im sure it wasnt that cheap...I bet you could make one easy!! you could even add a little sequin...oooh..an all black flower clutch with a bit of sequins would be so pretty too!!!...my ideas are flowing!!!
