in a bargain bin last week on one of our vintage hunts.
I got the idea to revamp it into a cool clutch bag with just
a few easy steps...

Before. In need of a good clean.

Underside.

Start of by cleaning it with a brush and some soap.

Wicker is much easier to work with while wet so I
started to cut the stand off on the underside.

In progress...

Put an elastic band on the center edge and tie.
I always burn the ends of the elastic so the black
thread won't fray.

Add a paper fastener. This is the outside.

This is the inside.

Clasp finished and so is the project.

Let's disco!
Can be used with an Hawaiian or nautical outfit.
