The Creative Connection

You know those cute vintage books you hang onto because the covers are so great? Let's turn them into clutch handbags! Bring a sturdy, thrifted hard-cover book with a 1-2" wide spine and a few treasures to decorate it with. Your favorite clip-on earring or a big button makes a darling clasp! If you would prefer it as a shoulder bag, I'll show you how to engineer that too. All skill levels are welcome.

Students should bring to class: An old book (described above), a clip-on earring or button, papercrafting tools, gel medium or Mod Podge, 1" foam brush, fine-tipped sharpie pen, tacky glue and scissors.
