Magazine Clutch DIY

We used to love making things out of magazine pages when we were in middle school and high school. I guess it was partly because magazines were the supply we always had access to! But to us, there's something so perfectly 90s about a good magazine page craft. Here's an easy way to make a durable clutch from your favorite magazine's pages.1. Supplies: magazines, laminating sheets, embroidery thread, scissors. 2. Begin by ripping out your favorite magazine pages for your clutch. 3. After you've picked your favorite, assort them in a collage and apply the laminating pages directly on top. We went really slow with this step, making sure the laminating sheets lined up perfectly. Once you've the covered the entire area, cut it into a perfect square. 4. Then, begin forming the clutch by folding three corners to the middle and securing them in place with another laminating sheet. 5. Next, cut the corners of the sides, making the top corner able to fold down farther. 6. Lastly, attach a hook and button so you can close it shut! Happy crafting! xo. elsie and emma

The funny thing is that I tore out that same black and white image for my inspiration drawer! Definitely doing this.

Finally! Something USEFUL I can do with my magazine cut-outs! This is a great gift idea... I only have one question: what kind of laminating sheets did you use- self adhesive or the kind you have to run through a laminator? I'm just a bit confused on this step. Thanks!

ahhaha i tried it with scotch tapes and without laminating sheets. it looked sooo ugly ! haha i guess the color combinations should be similar or else it's going to look really weird.
