Placemat Clutch

I know that I am not alone when I say "Target is HEAVEN on earth!" I love the store. I could honestly live there. Well, on one of my trips there I found some super cool placemats. But, I really didn't see a placemat, I saw a clutch. I know that sounds weird, but I instantly knew that I could make a really cute clutch out of their really cute placemat. So, that is what I did...

I made these three clutches out of the placemats. Each has their own personality.

The first one is this great turquoise blue. I added the white ribbon and made the detachable red flower, with a white fabric button, as a fun accent.

This placemat has a very vintage feel. I actually boxed the bottom corners to make it stand up alone, without anything in the bag. I added the brown velvet ribbon and vintage broach, I love it!

This is truly a ray of sunshine little clutch. I pleated the white ribbon and and added the flower to the middle of the clutch.

I folded the place mats like envelopes, then I ripped out the top stitching to add the magnetic closure to each one.

These little clutches would be great for "date night". They hold the essentials, plus add a punch of color to any outfit!

I think they are stinking cute!
