Irish Dance How-to: Recycled magazine clutch

Perfect for carrying around at summer feiseanna, this clutch can be made using old Irish dance magazines!




Tips:

• Find the most colorful pages in your magazines.  This may mean that you only get a couple pages from each magazine.  Ideally, there should be no white space and little printed text.
• Take your time with the weaving to really make your clutch look neat.  The closer the better!
• If you don't want a clutch bag, feel free to attach straps to the inside of the bag using tape and more folded paper strips (four or so taped together)
• Remember: this is a bag made out of paper and tape.  Be kind.

Ever tried searching through all those random St. Patrick's Day parade photos strangers take on Flickr or Photobucket? My guess is you'll find some of you that people took unbeknownst to you. My favorite so far:
