For the size of the clutch I was making, I decided to use two snaps per purse. That will help keep it shut and the contents secure.
I roughly measured about 2.25″ from the edge of the purse on each side for the snaps. I installed the inside pieces first. Then I lined up the outside ones on the already installed bottom ones to make sure they aligned correctly.
I have been using these snaps for everything lately, so if I have missed a step in assembling them, I apologize.
Each snap needs two backings and a male and female end.
Using the handy plyers provided with the set, squeeze the snap pieces together.
These are lovely!!! What a great idea!
Thanks! Hopefully you are able to try it out! My kids love them! And if times were different, I would use one for an Xmas party!
Super cute! I love this. Is there a no see version?
Thanks! I don’t know what a no see version is. I guess ill google it and try to make one 🙂
Thanks for such an easy pattern! Will have to give it a go!
Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!
These are a great DIY gift idea for the holidays. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Hopefully you had a chance to try them out!
This is great! I have been looking for a small cell phone purse for when I go on walks and I never thought of making it myself. Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
I never thought of it for just a cell phone! What a great idea! Thanks!
What a great idea! Is it possible to get fat quarters of the faux leather to work with instead or are you buying the rolls by the yard? Looks like you have lots of great ideas to work with it!
I just buy it in squares. I’m don’t think I have enough time to use rolls of it. I got mine on Amazon, in the links above. The nice thing is that you get a bunch of different colours and can use it for other projects to as well.
These turned out really adorable! My nieces are IN LOVE with all things glitter and I can’t help but think that I could throw a strap on these and make a perfect ‘first purse’ for them to tote around when we’re out and about. After all, they just want to be like their Mom.
My kids love them! I had to “put them away” for a while, because life couldn’t continue without them! They were in bed for sleeping, they were in the car for car rides, in bike baskets,,, everywhere! We pull them out every once in a while now, to keep things in check.
