NEW DIY | How to Make a Leather Flower Clutch

--clutch with a front flap. Mine was from the clearance rack at Target.

--leather hide (Try this awesome white leather hide from DarbySmart. It's soft and pliable, which makes it perfect for DIY projects like this.)

--round studs (I used this DIY stud set from DarbySmart. It comes with a good variety of shapes in both gold and silver plus they're iron-on, so you can use the left-overs for garments or other fabric DIY accessories.)

--hot glue gun

1.  Cut the number of flowers you need by tracing them onto the wrong side of the leather or by using a cutting machine. I used my Sizzix Big Shot machine and the second largest of the Flower Layers Die shapes.

2.  Starting along the bottom edge of clutch flap, hot glue flower backs to clutch. Continue to glue flowers in rows up to top edge of clutch flap, being sure to offset flowers so they don't lie in straight rows. It looks less interesting if they fall in straight rows up and down.

3.  When all flowers are attached, use small amounts of hot glue to attach round studs to flower centers to prevent glue from pushing out around stud where it will be visible when it dries.

4.  Finish applying studs to all flowers.

5.  Done.
