My Little Clutch

This Little Clutch I crochet with VHS Tapes..(one of my

fav mediums to work with ),

lined it with a cute white on black polka dot fabric ,which

in its former life lead a boring existence as a scarf,

added a zipper from my zipper collection.

(Yes I have a zipper collection...doesn't everyone? )

 Feeling it needed some adornment,

I added a cute little flower which was 

also crochet with VHS Tape/

and voila ..

My new clutch was

Upcycled Boho Chic

 

 

 

In between my jewelry frenzie I finished this cutie.

 

 

*Boho Chic*

 

 

 Since I had my beading stash out already ,

I decided to incorporate some bling in the body and handle of the purse to get the fun boho chic look.

 

I used wooden beads from a discarded carseat ,

painted them black and added some crystal blue beads to compliment the denim fringe and lining

(goodbye old jeans, it was a fun ride, but we have outgrown each other).

 

The body of the purse is of course crochet with Videotape and a size 2 hook

....my fingers are still cramping but it was worth it,

I love the tight stitching texture the 2 hook gives this purse.

Of course I added a zipper as well as an extra pocket in the lining....

I think that is why it took me forever to complete this project.....

my love for handsewing has not quite developed.

  All in All I love this boho chic beauty...

great with a pair of jeans and flip flops.

 

 

Until next time
