I like small clutches and pouches for on the go & decided to give this teeny envelope sized clutch a try. But - I didn't want to sew...so OUT CAME THE GLUE GUN WOO

select your envelope!
Unfold the envelope carefully
Choose your fabric - I'm using the pant legs of jeans that I chopped into shorts last summer. You can definitely pin the envelope & cut the shape out that way. I traced over the edges in chalk and cut out the shape from there. Do not leave allowance since the envelope already has allowance for gluing
Should look like that :D
Heat up that hot glue gun! Fold the flaps the same way that the envelope folds. Start gluing - I started with the bottom & left corners so that the folds wouldn't get all wonky later on.
Should Look like this! You can actually consider yourself done now if you want to :]
Sew a little button if you like! Then on the top flap I cut the hole for the button horizontally
Glue a little patch of fabric on the inside of the clutch where the stitching is from the button
Make more! You could even add a strap by gluing a length of fabric to one side of the clutch :)
