DIY Valentine Envelope Clutch Purse
Categories: Fashion Accessories, Bags and Totes, Holiday, Winter
This Valentine envelope clutch purse is perfect accessory for Valentine’s Day. You can also use it as a decoration, an envelope for a fabric card, or a holder for all your Valentine’s when you deliver them. This tutorial shows you how to make a basic fabric envelope, which you can customize to fit your style. I made it oversized, so there is enough room to hold your essentials whether your are going on a date or out with your friends. I love a good quirky bag, as they are great conversation starters, and often encourage others to make their own versions.
Project Note: That’s it for this bag. You can make it as intricate as you want to, because Valentines are all about personalization for your sweetheart. You could take this basic bag construction and make it in any color with your own designs. Oly*Fun comes in 18 colors, so go wild! Add a wrist or crossbody strap to make it easier to carry, before sewing the sides. The size up to you. You could make it mini for a change, cash, or card holder. Add pockets before sewing the layers together, for a more utilitarian bag.
