Instructions

1. 

   Start by picking the purse/clutch that you want to DIY. I have this old 1980s vinyl one that I picked up at a church swap.

2. 

   I started with a little bit of deconstruction. I removed the straps and the inside lining (which was in bad shape)

3. 

   I then traced out the shape I wanted onto the front of the bag. However, I would suggest NOT using marker- as I had a job of removing it later.

4. 

   Using your pliers (needle nose being the best), push in your studs and fold down the tabs.

5. 

   Next, I needed to address the lining issue. I picked out some fun fabric and laid my purse down on it cutting around it.

6. 

   Next I serged aroud the outside of my lining with right sides together.

7. 

   Using my hot glue gun, I carefully glued the lining into the inside of my bag. And ta-da! New clutch!
