A Summer Clutch
Do you ever feel the urge to just do something creative? Whether it's baking or gardening or building, you just need to make something with your hands sometimes? I was feeling that way a few days ago so I made a stop at Michaels and headed down to the craft room for some much needed crafting time.
Sorry I didn't take too many photos of the process but here's what I made! (Affiliate links have been used in this post)
Supplies:
Ombre tassels
Straw clutch
Craft paint
Snap hook
1. Open the clutch, flip it over and trace the shape of the lid on a piece of paper.
2. Freehand draw a word or saying
3. Cut out the word shape and use it to trace the word onto the clutch. Since my clutch was very textured, I couldn't get a nice clean line trace. So, I used a blue sharpie to dot along the shape.
4. Use craft paint to connect the dots and paint the word onto the clutch
5. Loop the tassel onto a snap hook. Poke the hook through the clutch to attach the tassel

It was pretty straight forward and here's my summer clutch. Now all I need is for my husband to take me out for a date so I can put this clutch to use ;)

Have you been crafty lately? What's the last thing you've made just because?
Side note: I know the "a" should be "à". I never was very good at French, ha!
