Supplies needed to make your own hand painted straw clutch

Step 1: Tape across the top of the clutch to achieve a clean line when you paint. Then apply your main paint color to the front flap of the clutch. Add multiple coats, if needed. Let dry and remove the tape.

Step 2: Apply your accent paint color as trim on the edge of the clutch flap. Add multiple coats, if needed. Let dry.

Step 3: Attach your pins to the clutch. I chose these fruit pins for summer, but I love that you can choose pins that reflect your personal style and that you can change them whenever you feel like it!

Step 4: Pull the tassel out of its silver cap (it should come out pretty easily with a little twisting). Paint the tassel with the accent color paint and let dry. Then, using hot glue, stick it on the inside of the clutch, just below the snap button.
