I Turned a $10 Purse into a $100 Clutch Wallet

I upcycled a cheap purse from a thrift store into a handmade leather women's clutch wallet! This DIY leathercraft project was completed using common leatherworking tools and recycled materials. I’m sharing my entire step-by-step process. It’s easy to find affordable leather items at thrift shops and turn them into beautiful, functional works of art on a budget! You can reuse old clothes, handbags, and other leather items to make wallets, key fobs, keychains, bracelets, jewelry, book covers, and more. In this video, watch me cut, hand stitch, and finish the edges of this custom leather clutch wallet. I start out showing the sketching process, then design a reusable template pattern to make the construction process easier. Are you inspired by this upcycling craft idea? Let me know in the comments.
