Been seeing soft clutches and envelope bags for a while now....

I decided to go ahead and make myself a couple.. In leather.. Cause I love leather and I happened to have a couple of really nice pieces of it a friend gave me while back… In dove grey and a maple color.. I forgot to take pics of the grey one in the process but heres some pictures of the brown.

Here is my finished product.. Oh wait, You can find instructions for making a similar bag here…

I had this tee-shirt. It was a Chanel tee-shirt. It was white and had a beaded banner reading “Chanel Forever” on the left arm. This tee shirt got red wine (mysteriously, ahem) spilled all over it… I refused to throw away said tee shirt. So, I did what any self respecting “re-fashionista” would do. I cut the beading out and decided to make a bracelet out of it. I Had this cuff from F21 lying around and decided to put it to good use. A little 527 Glue later I had my own personalized “Chanel” cuff..I broke it inside a week and lost the “Chanel Forever”.. forever.. WOMP WOMP.. Those strings in the background are the other bracelets I was working on. I had gotten all these pre-made friendship braceletsand I decided to embellish them. They came out super cute..I need to make more soon.. I sent them all to my litle sis in San Diego to sell for a Mother’s Day Bazaar. She made such a pretty little display for them!
