The prismatic affect of the DIY Chandelier Crystal Clutch makes this tutorial one to mimic. The clutch is modeled after Mawi's latest handbang from its Spring 2013 collection. The best part of this tutorial is choosing the color yourself to reflect your personality. In this tutorial, the clutch is a candy colored pink combined with dark blue gems. The original handbag from Mawi is silver with green gems, so the coloring of the bag is completely your prerogative.
The clutch uses a combination of liquified glue and sparkles to paint the color of the fabric. Use the same glue to paste on the gems and you have the clutch. This simple tutorial is great for the fashionista on a budget.
