Glitter Clutch Tutorial

November 28, 2009 by Jessica 16 Comments

Love these clutches at J.Crew? I do! So, why not make our own then? Here is how I did it:
Transform old ones with some glue and glitter! They make great little gifts or add an extra touch of sparkle to your holiday outfit.

Glitter Clutch How To

Materials:
–Glue (I used fabric glue)
–Paint Brush
–Finishing Glaze (I used DecoArt Triple Thick Brilliant Gloss Glaze Spray from Michaels)
–Glitter
–Old Clutch (I had these vintage ones I found at a yard sale. I thought about reusing the frame since the fabric was all messed up and cracked, but they were perfect for this project!)

Before

How To:

1. Place a piece of paper down with your purse on top. Paint the glue onto one side.

Painting with Glue

2. Cover in glitter. Let it dry before dumping excess glitter off.

Adding the glitter

3. Dump the extra glitter off onto the paper. Then, save that extra by folding the paper in half to create a funnel to get the glitter back into the container.

4. Repeat those steps on the back.

5. Repeat those steps on the 2 sides.

**Note: You might have to do a second layer of glue and glitter if the clutch has a fabric that soaks up the glue. I had to with the clutch in black glitter.**

6. Spray the glitter covered parts of the purse with a sealant. I used DecoArt Triple Thick Brilliant Gloss Glaze from Michaels. It keeps the glitter in place. Maybe Mod Podge would work as well.

    “And the glitter really stays on?!”

    Yup. The coating of the sealant keeps all the glitter on 🙂

    I can’t get over how cute these are. Too bad my husband strongly dislikes glitter… but I may just make one anyway. 🙂

    Love the glitter purse rescue. I can’t imagine going out and buying a j.crew clutch when they are so easy to make.
