We can take inspiration from Jen over at Scissors and Spatulas, who did this amazing project to DIY Refashioned an old Clutch into a Hip Summer Bag.
DIY Clutch Bag – The Before Shot
This is what the bag looked like before the refashion: a vintage-find clutch handbag. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing super exciting either.
Clutch Refashion – Step-by-step instructions
Now, lets transform this handbag into a trendy Summer clutch that will make creative gals do a double-take. Jen made it really easy for us to follow her refashion adventure, in just 2 simple steps:
Step 1: Apply ModPodge
Step 2: Decorate
From strips & circles of Fabric, Create Roses and Flowers
Over to You: Your Upcycled, Refashioned Hand-bag
