DIY: Clutch Inspired by Charlotte Olympia's Wolfie
Charlotte Olympia's designs are a great source of inspiration; original and colourful accessories that are desired by lots of fashion lovers in the world. I was looking forward to make my own DIY version of one of her clutches so when I was given a cosmetic bag when buying a shower gel I knew it was a good excuse to get on with it. Wolfie clutch has been the object of my inspiration; I like the mix of fabrics and fun touch of the wolf on it.
- Clutch or cosmetic bag
- Card with template
- Scissors
- Piece of leather
- Red and White felt
- White glue
- Brush
- Thread and needle
- Pins
Create the template drawing a picture of the wolf or printing it from an image on a card. Cut the contour to have your wolf and fix it to the back of the leather with pins. Use a pen to draw the contour on the leather and cut it. Take into account that depending on what side you draw the wolf on the leather it will look to the rigth or to the left when sticking on the clutch.
Using a brush, cover all the reverse of the wolf with white glue and stick it in the middle of your clutch. Let it dry for about 30 minutes. Cut a piece of red felt to make the tongue and white felt for the teeth and sew them to the clutch. And finally, sew a small bead for the eye. The glue won't be completely dry, so let it dry for a few hours to completely guarantee that it is fixed to the fabric. And that's it; enjoy your amazing DIY. I love it. What do you think?
