Neon Touch

Decided to wear my DIY goodies this past Sunday. The slight touches of neon gave life to an otherwise neutral outfit. You can check out the blouse DIY here and the clutch DIY here.

DIY: Clutch Makeover

You may have noticed I have an affinity for making old things new as seen here and here. Again, I found myself contemplating getting rid of an old "jelly" clutch that is about 7 or 8 years old. Instead I got my creative wheels turning and decided to give it a little makeover. For this re-vamp I used:

Martha Stewart Satin finish Craft paint in Wild Salmon

A small roller

Paint tape

pyramid studs

 jewelry pliers

scissors

First I cleaned off the clutch, then painted it. Three coats should be enough. Once completely dry I added the studs. I am contemplating adding more studs, but I am still trying to re-gain feeling on my fingertips ; )

Clutches are not just for your evenings out anymore.  I have been loving the big oversize leather clutches there are out there.  I think the Reese Hudson is my fav.  Are you into clutches?
