I’m definitely a girl who’s a sucker for a beautiful accessory or two, and I don’t do DIY posts very often but I thought you might like this very easy tutorial – just in time for Christmas perhaps…?
Although I know I shouldn’t torture myself by poring over designer accessories too much, sometimes a particular collection will really catch my eye. The Proenza Schouler Fall 2013 bags did exactly that, and of all of them I especially loved the boxy shape of the clutches (below) in various finishes. And as I’m having a total pink thing at the moment, my favourite was the neon pink beaded clutch – and a DIY idea was born!
The idea was simple – find a plain clutch that would take beaded paint well and get creative with those dots of colour. The Proenza Schouler clutch has an ombre effect under the beads, but I decided to introduce colour with different neon paints. In my hunt for a plain clutch to use, I found a selection of iPad cases at Poundland… yes, this bag cost me the grand total of £1, what a bargain! So read on for how I created my own Proenza Schouler inspired beaded clutch – I’ve also created a single image with the whole tutorial on there as an ideal image to Pin 🙂
