DIY Feather Clutch

Heeellooooowwww :3
Yes yes I know I haven't been here for a while, well sorry :| 
I've been working on few sketches and doing some art work..yup!

So, I came across another easy DIY for my lovely readers :) 

Inspiration.. 






















Mine....
what you will be needing,


1. A simple pencil case

2. Feathers 

3. Ribbon

4. Glue (Fabric glue/ superglue/ glue gun etc.)

6. Embellishments



Be careful and be patient when you paste on the feathers to your pencil case. Trust me if you won't, adding these feathers will be a pain in the butt! 

This is how mine turned out.... 
added two lines of ribbon and added little pearls and golden bead flowers to embellish.





Have Fun!!!

The Unwanted Purse makeover :)

I hope everybody had a Spookalicious weekend parting hard and dressing up. 

Guess what! I didn't lol I was too lazy to get dressed and go party and my significant other lives 8000 whatever miles away and I don't feel like going all woohoo -.- yeah yeah BOO me..

Anyhow, There was a little ugly purse lying around the house and nobody knows who bought it or how we got it. Nobody liked to wear it and we used it to carry our nail colors in them for emergency when we were in Sri lanka for vacation. But most of the time it stayed there in the storage. 

I saw it earlier today and wanted to change this miserable fallow up to something that the "girls" in the house including me would use it. oh the misery! 

lets get on with making the world b'ful :D shall we...

Things I used to get this purse out of misery

White acrylic paint 
- Any two acrylic paint color of your choice
- paint brush(es)
- Glossy mod podge or clear nail color 
- A paper or fabric Doily or lace 

Here's how The Unwanted purse looked before the makeover 


I applied few coats, about 2-3 coats of white acrylic pain on the front pocket at first...and waited it to dry


To keep the edges clean I dabbed few drops of nail polish remover on to a cotton bud and cleaned the edges.


Here comes the Doilies! :) Place your doily where ever you like. I prefer to place it starting from the corner. 

Dab paint color of your choice over the doily making sure you'll get paint on in the cut out parts. ( also if you are using lace make sure the paint transfer in to the materiel though it nice and crisp) 


I over lapped my doilies so the colors will contrast out nice.. to the corners where there was no design I mixed the colors around with white paint and added a shading effect. 

I worked with white paint on the top part of this purse too. 
After finishing I applied a coat of mod podge over the painting. Don't worry if you don't have or donno what the shing is mod podge is just use a clear nail polish that you wouldn't mind using. It's just for the sake of protection of the work of art we did and to duh! give it a glossiness xD 




And here's The Unwanted in to everybody's wanted.. but seriously my mom and sister both asked me for it!

Too bad so sad... Finders, painters keepers I said.. 




Happy Painting!!

DIY mustache Satchel bag/Clutch

This is a very easy project but some what experience on sewing will be required...
When I was in Pinterest, like always I saw few clutches and I really wanted to try and make one :)
O' my love for Pinterest lol

anyways these are the things you will be needing

- 1/2 meter of Main fabric
- 1/2 meter of lining fabric

- 1/4 meter of fabric for bottom and sides (recommended a heavy fabric like denim or canvas fabric)
- a buckle/ velcro/ hook and a ring for to closing the flap 


And here's my pattern... (i'm sorry I donno how to make PDF pattern, in near future I'll learn how to ^^) 




it's very easy to assemble everything together...I'm sorry I just have to explain the steps because I forgot to take pictures -.- 

1. Sew the front main fabric piece and the lining together the good side facing together leaving a little opening. 
When you are done turn it inside out and hand sew the opening using invisible stitch  After that press so the creases will be clean.

2. do the same thing to the back piece.

3. Follow up the same process with the two bottom and side pieces and attach them together so you will have a long straight line that's it about 34 inches long.

4. Pin and sew this bottom and side piece around the front and back piece leaving one side open in both pieces 

somewhat like this... (oh! god bless my paint skills xD)

3. Find the middle of the flap and sew the flap piece down.

4. Assemble whatever choice of method you'd like to use on this project to close and open this bag.
I used a hook and a loop..

I used a fancy embroidery stitch my sewing machine had to decorate the flap.  


Added few pearls and a button to the flap line ^^




After all this cutting, sewing and gluing I got this!!!! :)

good thing about this clutch is that surprisingly I can stuff everything I need in here xD at once!







Lol too much? yeah I should prolly stop!

have a nice day :)
