simple stylish clutch with huge tassel

...and one more handbag...and again easy to make and again made from an unusual material and still pretty.

i could have also done it from a placemat, but i decided to use a carpet tile...as it is sturdy, and self-adhesive, cheap and easy to handle.

...as i chose a huge tassle for the closure of the bag, i opted to skip a tradional fastener...and did not regret it at all.

the tutorial is so simple, that you actually won't need any...but i enjoy taking photos of the making, so you do get a short pictured tutorial antways.

i hope you do enjoy and maybe it inspires you , too...best regards...silke

this is what you need

- a square carpet tile, placemat or piece of felt
