Who doesn’t love a good duct tape project? This tutorial from Erin at Thanks I Made It! transforms a simple clutch into a Carlos Falchi-inspired accessory.

“I think my favorite part of the clutch is that it’s not permanent. If I ever get inspired by a different pattern, or just want a simpler look, I can easily update it.”

 - Erin
