DIY Minaudière – HonestlyWTF. I have an awful habit of losing sunglasses.

DIY Minaudière – HonestlyWTF

Needless to say, I’ve accumulated an impressive collection of sunglass cases over the years. Recently we’ve discovered that these abandoned containers can easily by re-purposed into fabulous mini clutches! Inspired by those spotted during Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, we made a super simple minaudière with just a few tools and a fancy piece of hardware. Open the sunglass case and drill a hole in the top center.

Run the drill through the hole a few times in order to make the opening wide enough to fit the drawer pull. Easy. Perfect for all the essentials . . . minimalism at its best!

Knuckle Duster Eyeglass Case Clutch

It's a redo of the first two eyeglass case clutches I made last year (here and here), but this one is my favorite by far. The general shape and build is inspired by the Alexander McQueen clutches, even though eyeglass/sunglass cases obviously weren't used in the original designs. I don't do as many designer DIY's as I used to - but when I thought of this, I knew I had to do it. Supplies: - Large eyeglass/sunglass case - Bead (s) - 3 flat metal pieces (I used scrapbooking brads) Skull Clutch. To do this DIY for the longest time!

Skull Clutch

I couldn't find the exact supplies I wanted, but ended up improvising. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. Not so much because of the piece it was inspired by, but because it uses a fairly standard item - an eyeglass case - in a completely different way. The inspiration = Alexander McQueen's amazing skull clutches, ranging from $1200-$2000+ ...click here, here, here, here, here for several different examples. And yet another example... I loooove these clutches. I suggest reading through the entire DIY before starting. Supplies: - Eyeglass case of your choice....$8- Skull (or whatever) bead.....$8- Metallic spray paint, if needed....$3 - About 45 inches of chain, optional....$1.40- Some elastic, optional.....

<$1- Not shown above: sewing thread, needle, E6000 glue....... <$2 I've been searching for a large silver or gold skull bead, but haven't had any luck. 1) Spray paint your bead in a well ventilated area. 4) Repeat on the other end of the chain. Clutch DIY-spiration from Alexander McQueen. Remember this amazing DIY Minaudere from Honestly WTF? Tell me this McQueen clutch isn’t just screaming to be re-created using the same steps… Someone please do it! Sunglasses case + studs + skull drawer pull… (On that note, we really need to find skull drawer pulls.) DIY Tetra pack wallet. Kuna paljud olid vaimustuses Eva lehma rahakotist ja küsisid kuidas seda teda, otsustan ma õpetuse teha.

DIY Tetra pack wallet

See on väga lihtne ja võtab aega max 30 minutit. Õpetust oli üsna raske teha ja ma üritasin kuidagi hästi lihtsalt seletada, aga kui kellegil küsimusi tekib siis küsige kindlasti. Vaja on:Tühja ja puhast mahla, piima vms pakki. Mida suurem pakk seda parem.KääreVärvilist kleeplintiKlammerdajatKleepuvat takjapaela (abakhanis müüakse) You'll need:Empty and clean juice or milk package.ScissorsColourful adhesive tapeStaplerSelf-adhesive hook and loop fastener 1. 2. 3.Nüüd võta endale ette see pool, kus on paki keskel kokku liimimise joon.

DIY Elin Kling x H&M clutch. Again, the world's easiest pattern, but it was pretty difficult to cut and sew this thick leather.
