I had some suede pieces from an old vest I bought at the thrift shop and a gold zipper and decided it would be fun to make a small zippered clutch to give as a Christmas present. Or maybe I will just keep it for myself! However, this project is so easy I’ll probably make a few more to give as gifts. I like the mixture of the suede with the glitter.
Here’s how I made it.
Supplies:
1 7 inch gold zipper
two 6 by 8 inch suede pieces
Mod Podge Sparkle
Mod Podge stencil sponge brush
Gold glitter
Folk Art gold paint
sewing machine, thread, scissors
1 inch painters tape
Sew the long ends of the pouch to the zipper as shown, making sure the stitching is on the wrong side of the zipper
Open the zipper fold both pieces together , right side to right side and stitch with a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Trim the corners when you are done.
Pull the clutch right side out through the zipper opening.Use something sharp to neaten the corners.
Tape the stripes with the 1 inch painters tape.
Paint stripes with gold paint and let dry.
Add a coat of Mod Podge and sprinkle with a good amount of glitter. Once dry add another coat of Mod Podge to seal it.
