For this week's DIY, I’m excited to partner with Feckled Fawn and their hundreds of washi tapes to create this stylish clutch made from a clear poly envelope. This isn’t the first time I’ve turned office supplies into fashion accessories (here and here), and now I'm convinced they make some of the most stylish, yet budget friendly projects.
Follow the tutorial below to make your own and enter for a chance to win $100 worth of washi tape from our friends at Freckled Fawn!
Materials:
• Colorful washi tape
• Clear poly envelope (found online or office supply stores)
• Scissors• Craft sealer or Mod Podge
• Brush
• Xacto knife
• Button
• Needle and thread
Steps:
• Tape: Tape the washi around the front and back of the envelope starting at the bottom and working your way up.
• Cover it up: Continue taping with your desired colors and pattern until the outside of the envelope is covered. It's OK to tape over the velcro closures. • Cut: Grab your Xacto knife and cut around any velcro openings you may have taped over.
• Seal: Paint a layer of craft sealer over the washi tape in order to prevent it from peeling up. Let dry.
• Add button: To add a decorative touch, sew a button onto the top cover. You may need to pierce through the velcro to do this.
TO ENTER to win a $100 shopping credit to Freckled Fawn: (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)

I love birds, I have them in my house, on shelves, in art on the walls and on my personalized stationery. It's such a cheery, whimsical bird. Many that I've seen look so sad or foreboding. These make me smile.

I'm loving the Airmail and the classic washi tapes :) the Airmail washi tape reminds me of when u used to write letters back and forth to one of my childhood friends. The envelopes I used to send her letters had the Via Air Mail written in it. I don't think they make those envelopes anymore. Anyways, it brought me back to when writing letters was the only form of communication. I would wait anxiously for Air Mail from my friends. I think I need this tape to add to my envelopes now ;)

ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not easy to choose from so many amazing washi tapes. If I could I would have them all in my collection.
But I kept going back to one and that was and stil l is "Sidewalk chalk washi" it just reminded me of my trip to Greenland in 1998, where I saw Aurora Borealis, for the first time ever.I think in English it's called Northern Lights. The colors on this washi is just like what I saw and it would fit amazing with my pictures from that trip.

Hi again
ReplyDeleteWell, I have been a fan of Freckled Fawn for sometime now. I just wish that more shops would get some of their other stuff than just the papers here in Denmark.
Cause I can't get a hold of their cool wooden veneers and a lot of their different washi here.
I have just today totally by pure chance found this amazingly awesome site/page Crème de la Craft.
I am SO trying to make myself a washi bag/purse, I just need to figure out where to get the plastic envelope here, but that will be my mission for tomorrow.
Thank you for such and brilliant site.
