Week 23 of my Project Re-Style challenge.
Welcome everyone. !
I am So happy you are here. If you are just joining me, this is my Project Re-Style day. Not sure what that is? Well, all the details will be at the end of this post. In short, I have challenged myself to make one Re-Style project a week for one year. Re-Styling something out of my closet or something that I found and making it into something completely different.
This week, I have veered away from clothes and gone back to accessories, a purse to be exact. This Clutch Purse is similar to another clutch purse I did. HERE and HERE The only difference is, this one is made out of 2 placemats, instead of just one.
These Placemats only cost 2 dollars a piece.
I was going to use them on our table for summer, but my creative side has won out, once again. I am happy to report that I did buy 2 more placemats to replace the ones I swiped.

This will be the perfect accessory for a new dress of mine (hot date night with hot husband!). Where do I find the placemats? I've been searching around and I can't justify $15 ea. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Shai, I found mine at Wal-mart for about $2.00 a piece.. but that was a year ago. good luck, I found this on line. http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=round+placemats
DeleteThank you,
Can you tell me, please, what these placemats are made of? I bought some at Walmart that look like these, but they're plastic, which I doubt would be appropriate for this project.
ReplyDeleteHey Bev, These place mats I used are made of straw or raffia. not plastic I bought them about a year ago.
DeleteAmei a ideia, as cores o efeito final. Parabéns!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
