Leather Clutches DIY – No sewing! #1
Hello you!
I hope you are enjoying the first days of Spring… or staying at your place making a ton of crafts! I prepared a series of articles to show you how to design original leather clutches — with no sewing! Those who follow me on Facebook or Twitter have already seen some examples from when I was still living in Lyon. I bought these leather falls “Chez Boudin,” which literally means “sausage” in French XD
Anyways, though it may not sound like it, Boudin is one of the suppliers for some famous Parisian “Maisons de Haute Couture.” Boudin is a great location to find excellent quality leather for only 10€ per kilo. Inspired by these great materials, I started making clutches without sewing. My tip? Neoprene transparent glue: it stays supple and dries quickly.
The tutorial for this scaly clutch is right below. See you soon for the second episode of this series!

… In next article, we will see how to make this clutch!
Hello hello!
Still, when we look at Starbucks’ logo, there is something frightening: creators chose the two-tailed starbuck mermaid as its symbol to make an allusion to the “spirit of Seattle.” Before Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing took over the world, Seattle was mostly known for its fishermen and its port. But in Greek mythology, the mermaid symbolizes obsession, addiction, and death. Remember the story of Ulysses: all his sailors died after jumping in the sea, bewitched by the evil siren mermaids. Hum… Starbucks would be EVIL? I decided to create my own Starbuck mug, but with a blonde touch. Enough evilness! Ready? Steady? Get your mug!
Don’t forget to print this image to help you draw on the mug. I recommand printing it, cutting out the white parts, taping the image on the mug and, finally, drawing the lines on it. I used a porcelain painter with a pen tip. After this model is finished, you (carefully!) remove the printed pieces of the image and paint inside the lines. Lastly, add the mouth and the nose, and here you are! Be carefull with the drawing, it needs to dry for 24 hours. :)
