After doing this CIY I now want to cover everything in lace!  This was as easy as wrapping a gift (well, maybe a few extra steps).  My clutch is a little more basic than my inspiration pieces.  I did not include any adornments of sculls, jewels, or chains.  I am trying to keep this tutorial easy! 

Supplies: 

– Old clutch (mine is a $1 thrift store score!) 

– Lace (enough to cover your clutch I got a 1/4 of a yard) 

– Scissors 

– Hot glue gun and glue 

 Step 1: Open your clutch and lay it on top of your lace.  Trim around the sides.  I trimmed my lace about an inch and a half away from my clutch. 

 Step 2: Trim the lace at the top of your clutch.  Once again, leave enough to cover the top. 

 Step 3: Pull your lace over the top of your clutch and glue. 

Step 4: Trim the excess lace. 

Step 5: Wrap your lace over the bottom of your clutch. 

Step 6: Glue the lace to your clutch. 

Step 7: If you have a metal clasp on your clutch, cut the lace around it so your clutch will close. 

Step 8: Take the lace on the side of your clutch and glue it to your clutch. 

Step 9: After your glue dries, cut off the excess lace. 

Step 10: Now glue the excess lace on the sides of our clutch. 

I remember when I moved to the city and hailed my first cab.  I felt so cool because I was officially a city girl!  When I saw the cute taxi gloves I thought they were the perfect accessory for a city girl.  I mean, gloves that actually work for you?  Um, yes! When I decided to make the taxi gloves I headed straight to the thrift store.  The store I go to hangs clothing items by color. Genius!  It was so easy for me to track down the sweaters and find the perfect yellow sweater hanging on the rack. 

Supplies: 

• Sweater (preferably wool because you will want to wash and dry your sweater first.  Wool will felt up nicely) 

• Black Felt 

• Black thread 

• Sewing needle 

• Thread 

• Scissors
