Zipper-Laden Handbags

Make Your DIY Zipper Clutch With Minimal Materials

— December 4, 2012 — Fashion
Instead of going out and buying a new bag for your next outing, try making a DIY zipper clutch at home.

Shopping for new accessories can become costly and making your own versions of merchandise you have seen out is much more cost efficient. Making your own zip clutch is super easy. All you need for a fabulous fold-over bag is a piece or fabric, preferably canvas, a zipper and a sewing machine. If you don’t have a sewing machine do not stress, you can also hand sew it. All you need to do is cut two pieces of fabric the length of your selected zipper, line them up and pin the zipper against them and sew away.

The final product you are left with is a gorgeous and functional DIY zipper clutch.
