No Sew Boho Clutch DIY

It's almost summer and you're going to need a few little handbags to jazz up your favorite outfits! These little boho gems are PERFECT and you can make them in any color combo you want.  Grab some trim and a base fabric (I used vinyl but you could use heavy canvas) and get gluing! It's that easy.  A little velcro and you have a cute, safe place to keep your phone and some cash.  Add a strap and you're ready for a night out.  Kick up your style this summer my sweet friends and don't forget to
Make Your Mark!
Jazz trio!
Perfect for a cell phone and some cash!

Happy summer!

Pom Pom Placemat Purse

Hit the 99c store for colorful, round placemats perfect for making these taco-shaped summer clutches!  At first I wasn't quite sure how this was going to happen, but stitching on the zipper was actually quite easy!  The key is using a separating zipper and making sure it measures 1/2 way around the placemat.  Once the zipper is stitched in, the design is all up to you.  I opted for colorful yarn pom poms and a very funky tassel for the zipper pull,  but you could paint, stencil or embroider on your bag....It's easy to personalize them for your own style.  I know you already have a million ideas, too!  
Just have fun and remember to Make Your Mark!

STUFF I USED
Round Placemat from Dollar Tree
Colorful Yarn
Clothespins
Sewing Machine
Separating zippers
PattieWack Pom Pom Maker and Tassel Maker
HERE'S HOW
1.  Separate the zipper and stitch 1/2 of it around 1/2 of the placemat
2.  Tuck the excess toward the inside of the back and stitch down
3. Zip the other side of the zipper to the stitched half for placement
4. Match the ends so that the zipper matches
5.  Starting at the end, tuck the excess and stitch the other half of the zipper to the 
other half of the placemat
6. Use either a matching zipper or contrasting zipper...Up to you!
7. Wrap the pom pom maker about 75 times and then tightly tie the middle of the bundle
*I made 5 in 5 different colors for this bag
8.  Clip the ends and remove from the pom pom maker
9.  Trim the longer pieces to make a perfectly round ball shape
10.  Wrap the tassel maker (with 5 different colors of yarn) about 15 times
and then tie a knot at the very top
11.  Tie more yarn around the neck of the tassel
12. Clip the bottom and remove from the tassel maker
13. & 14.  Glue the pom poms along the edge of the bag with E-6000 Fabri-Fuse and clamp 
in place with clothespins while they dry
15.  Tie the tassel to the zipper pull
16.  Wear in style and let everyone know you made it!
 Style in the BAG!
HAPPY SUMMER!

No Sew Heart Coin Purse

Who doesn't need a little heart coin purse to stash some spare change?  This one is super easy to make because you don't need a sewing machine......only my favorite, awesome, magic glue!  The best part about this little purse is that you can make it any size and shape and the chain is optional.  Make a star, a cat, even a big floppy square.  It's all about how it comes together.  Make sure to check out the video if you get a chance.  Have fun, make messes and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
