Step 1
first we are going to glue the tissue paper onto the construction paper and be careful of air holes...
Step 2
then you can try to put it into the paper protecter, cut it if it doesn't fit....then put in there.
Step 3
You can fold it into the bag-like postion but no sewing yet...
Step 4
Grab the extra tissue paper and a construction paper andcut a wide strip (not too wide and long )Then wrap it onto the folded clutch and see
Step 5
Then cut off the excess paper...
Step 6
Now time to glue it to the construction paper
Step 7
and cut the strip offf
Step 8
we put that strip into the plastic paper protecter (if need be you can cut off it off it sticks out of the plastic)and put the clutch on top of the strip
Step 9
This will be the strap...(correct?) and align it like in pix...
Step 10
when you have it on the angle you want pin it down ...but don't sew it yet we have to sew on the button first...
Step 11
have the button and a threaded needle at ready and take the bottm of the clutch and remove a pin to have it open and have the knot on the other side...
Step 12
when your done with that pin and sew the strap down until you get to the edge
Step 13
you have to cut off some plastic until it if justa flap on the strap...
Step 14
then use an overseeing stitch (the type that goes in loops...nothing?...google it...)
Step 15
and overseeing stitch it around...then continue on sewing down the strap...
Step 16
cleean and done..
Step 17
~~MANGA~~~BREAK~~~~~
Step 18
pin the sides together and sew them up...if..theres an open part of the plastic sew it down (except for the opening of the bag...duh...)
Step 19

Step 20
oversee-stich the hole so no frays(or such) and you're done!
