3 Steps DIY Sequin Clutch

August 18, 2011

Posted 09/12

This is for you gals out there who don’t think you can do DIY. These fun and fancy clutches only involve THREE items and THREE steps. Not kidding! Ready?

First things first, if you are near a Hobby Lobby, RUN your little bottom over there and pick yourself up one or two of these dandy linen clutches. They are ripe for the picking at only $3.99! And use their weekly 40% off an item coupon to get it for less than $2.50! If you are not near one, never fear! You can buy one online here or here. They have both colors available. I bought both the dark charcoal grey and the natural linen. Then head over to the ribbon and trims section and pick out a fun trim to embellish them in. I picked up this gold sequin trim (they usually have trim on sale for 50% off) for $2.50. Sorry the Charcoal trim I bought in the LA fabric district for my shop, so I already had that in stock. For the adhesive you can use hem tape OR glue gun. Easy as that!

In summary, your supplies:

Linen Clutch

Sequin trim (any kind of preference)

Hem tape OR Glue Gun

The Steps:

1) Measure out the trim to fit the length of the clutch(es)

2) Measure out the hem tape

3)Place hem tape between trim and clutch, and hold down your iron on the INSIDE of the clutch for a few seconds on each section of the trim to get them to stick together.

3) Simply heat up your glue gun and use small amounts along the trim where you would like it placed.

*You can use one or two strips of trim on the back depending on the look you want.

….and Voila!! I told you it was simple:)

I hope you go treat yourself or a friend to this $5.00 glam clutch! And if you do, you will have to share the pics and let me know how it goes!

P.S. I have another fun DIY Sequin tote coming next week:)

I love this! And I can’t believe it only cost you $5! You could’ve kept this little secret to yourself and sold them in your shop! 🙂

Only 3 steps?! I am sold! This is SO cool as a perfect way to bling up a boring old clutch! Very clever 🙂

What a great little project! I used to live near a Hobby Lobby, but have since moved far, far away. Oh, how I miss it! I checked online for the clutch, but unfortunately, the linen color is sold out right now. I will be filing this project away for something to do in the near future!
