Diy Emergency Clutch

"A few years ago, someone gave me a cute little organizer made from a potholder. Very cute, I thought. Then I tossed it into a drawer at my office. Wow, did I underestimate the value of that little gift! It was filled with all sorts of odd things – stamps, coins, rubber bands, ponytail holder, bobby pins… Not only did I use it frequently, but each time I grabbed the little pouch from my drawer I was in dire need of something – whether it was a bobby pin to hold back my bangs or coins for the vending machine. That DIY emergency clutch wasn’t just cute – it was a lifesaver! I used this emergency pouch so much that I decided to copy my friend’s ingenuity and make a few as Christmas gifts. I knew I wanted a whimsical look, so the first thing I did was order several Marimekko potholders from Finnish Design shop. "
