Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas - Glitter Clutch Bag

Ohhh, how pretty and special is this? You start with a plain fabric clutch bag and go from there. This great tute is part of our series (9/21-12/24) of handmade Christmas gift ideas.

Found this on ILoveToCreate. Their guest blogger, Carly, posted it. The tutorial, at this link, is wonderfully detailed. You'll have no trouble knowing exactly what supplies to get and how to use them.

This zebra patterned clutch is just stunning, and I rarely use that word, but it fits here. I can also see it in tiger stripe or any other wild-thing pattern. It could even be glittery polka dots.

If you use a small bag, it would thrill some little girl. If you use an adult sized bag, it would thrill any grown-up female on your list. And, giving it at Christmas means she would have an excuse to get especially dressed up for New Year's Eve because she'd just have to show off her newest gift.

I just love "pretties" like this.

This tutorial is well written. The instructions and photos do not assume you know something that you do not. They take you step by step the whole way.

For other projects in my series, just look along the right sidebar for the label "Christmas Gift Projects." I hope to post only tips that do not require knitting, crocheting, machine sewing, tatting, embroidery, or any other skilled technique.

If you are feeling too crushed for time to make your own gifts this season, check my Etsy shop for items for your gift list.
