DIY clutch bags: 6 fantastic styles to draw inspiration from to create versatile purses
Clutch bags were invented as elegant handbags to wear from the wrist, but since they are generally soft and small, they were soon adopted as accessories to be exploited in many other ways. A clutch bag can be a convenient handbag or purse to grab on the fly when going out for a short errand, but also the soft pouch to put in your bag to keep everything you need for make-up in order, the one in which to put essential beauty products to take with you instead of a beauty case on an outing, or as a soft and practical container, which steals little space, for any other type of objects we wanted, even to be easily put in the suitcase.
Below you will find some ideas to make them by hand, with many different models for every taste.
Round Purse Bag by Sewing Times
Small and colorful, and also soft and easy to wash, a compact fabric clutch bag, with a rounded shape like this one is perfect as a make-up bag, but can also perhaps contain the essential kit for sewing, things necessary for manicures and much more.

With a more rigid shape that makes it almost a middle ground between a clutch bag and a handbag, this clutch with a handle is a little more challenging project to make but gives a really cute result. You could combine the fabric of your choice with the synthetic leather bottom that best matches its colors, thus customizing the model as you prefer. It wouldn't hurt to use it as an everyday handbag, or even to take with you to the beach!

A softer model, with elegant pleats on both sides and the hidden zip lower than the edge of the clutch itself: a model that works best with solid color fabrics, and depending on the type of fabric it will be a handbag for elegant occasions or maybe a convenient bag to use for make-up, jewelry and more.
A dynamic and unique model: an envelope style like that of letters, thin and with a contrasting inner lining. Perfect to take to work or to university, to have just the bare minimum at hand when you want to take a coffee or lunch break!

The beauty of DIY projects is that they can be adapted to any need: for example, a clutch bag can be just the right size to contain just your smartphone, and makes a quick walk away from home so much easier with not having to carry bags or backpacks.

A more unusual model: bags with a knotted handle. They are nice and fun, and you could also make them by recycling denim fabric of some old garment now in disuse. You could also decorate them with embossed applications, designs with beads and rhinestones and more! And with that handle, in addition to using them on the wrist, they could also be hung comfortably on the bicycle handlebars.
