I tried my hand at the DIY MS Clutches - PIP!
Here is yet another DIY project I decided to do 
. I am going to have to run out of project soon which is prolly a good thing .
I followed the same introductions the other ladies did except I changed the color of them to brown (thanks for the instructions Steph!). And I tweaked a couple other things like just keeping the side straight and using a regular hole punch instead of a screw punch.
Here is how they turned out!
I am going to use the to package up the bracelets I made for each of my BMs. I think they will make great wrapping paper.
There are more pics and info in my Bio under DIY if interested!

What kind of fabric did you use? Where'd you get it?

Steph - I used fabric from Joann in the outdoor fabric section. It was 100% cotton and an ivory color. I was talking to the ladies there as I just wanted a heavier fabric and they sent me to the outdoor fabric section. It was 6.99/yrd on sale which was more than I had planned on spending but it was exactly the right color and weight that I wanted to so I went with it. I bought one yard and would say you can fit about 9 clutches per yard - I made 8. You could also buy what they called "bottomweight" fabric that would be a good weight but didnt have the exact color I wanted...it would have been less expensive then though.
Debbie - LOL
I used iron ons for light tshirts for Joann. They come in a value pack of 10 if you go to one of the bigger stores. The little store by me sells only the smaller packs. Here is a link: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?pageName=search&flag=true&PRODID=prd41152
Again I got the 10 pack but this is the brand I used. I think the 10 pack was 14.99 so with at least a 40% off coupon would be around $9 for 10 of them.
The iron ons are the most expensive part so I just made sure to buy them with a coupon.
Seriously let me know if you ever need help with anything! I never knew I was crafty until I started these WR DIY projects and now I am hooked so if I can help I would love to!
I have been wanting to do something like this but dont want to spend a ton of money.

Cutting down the parent sheets = 45 min
Putting it thru the die cut = 1 hour
Folding the score lines with a bone folder = 6 hours
Taping it together = 3 hours
It is not difficult - just time consuming. So I would recommend recruiting your FI to help! Joe helped a lot with the cutting, folding, and taping and that made it go by so much faster. It is also pretty mindless so I would do a lot while watching TV.
About the tape - no sorry, I was worried that would be confusing. The tape is clear, it is just backed with a brown shinny paper that you use to stick it down and then peal off the brown paper part. If you were using it in the dispenser you would never see the brown part, but the roll refills (which is all I bought) look brown because the tape is clear.
