Holiday parties, my new LBD (little black dress) and glitter clutches are on my mind lately. There's just something about glitter that screams party! to me. So, one day when I was online window shopping at the millions of gorgeous glitter clutches out there, I decided that I should just make my own. And I did. All it took was my Cricut, an envelope image, glitter iron-on and a fun fabric.
Step One: Fuse the glitter iron-on vinyl to a fun fabric. I chose a coral cotton for a little pop of color.
Step Two: With a 12x24 mat, cut out a large envelope image.
Step Three: If you were cutting an envelope out with paper, you would simply glue the side flaps together, but since we're talkin' fabric, sewing is required. I used a simple straight stitch up the sides of the envelope. To give the clutch some structure, I used the plastic lining from the glitter vinyl on top of the fabric.
Step Four: Stitch around the entire clutch for a finished look.
Step Five: Embellish to your heart's content. I added snaps on both sides.
Don't my new Cricut tools look stylin'?
Cricut provided me with their fancy new tools and the gold iron-on vinyl. All opinions and awesome projects are 100% my own.
