Comments Off on Yo-Yo Embellished Straw Clutch
Learn how to embellish a straw clutch with easy DIY fabric yo-yo’s for this simple handmade accessory idea. This is a great way to use fabric scraps to create a unique clutch handbag to carry!
I love to have a small clutch handbag to carry along on date nights with my husband or girls’ nights. I found a great straw clutch at Michaels a few weeks back, and I decided to personalize it with some handmade fabric yo-yo’s and a pretty vintage-y button from my stash. This project took less than 15 minutes to complete from start to finish, but each time I’ve carried it, I’ve gotten so many compliments! Keep reading for all the details for making a yo-yo straw clutch of your own.

The moment I saw this fun clutch at Michaels, I knew it had to come home with me. It’s the perfect carte blanche for personalizing all sorts of ways, and at right around $10 (or even less with a coupon!), it is a serious bargain.
For my project, I used my free templates and handy fabric yo-yo tutorial to create three yo-yo’s from some of my favorite fabric scraps. I created two 1.5″ fabric yo-yo’s and one 2″ yo-yo for my bag, but you could also add more yo-yo’s or even just one very large yo-yo if you prefer. There are lots of options to make this project your own!
When the fabric yo-yo’s were complete, I affixed them in a row with hot glue along the center of the clutch’s flap closure, overlapping the edges slightly.
I’ve had this pretty cameo button in my stash for ages, and I decided it was the perfect way to embellish the larger yo-yo in the center. To secure it in place, I used a small dab of hot glue. Super simple!
Total time for this fun DIY accessory project: 15 minutes!
Like I said before, every time I carry this cute clutch, I have at least one person ask me where I bought it.
I love that all of the embellishments I used for this project came from my stash of supplies. It feels so great to use up what I already have on hand. Fabric yo-yo’s are some of the very best scrap-busting projects around!

This comforter is amazing! I was getting too warm with my down comforter but still wanted something soft, and this was the answer. It’s very light, yet still provides enough warmth that I’m only using this with a flat sheet. It fit perfectly in my duvet cover and comes with loops on each corner and […]
Exactly what I was looking for! I live in Miami so I’ve always been looking for bedding that won’t capture too much heat or any at all. I’ve tried a bunch in the past but THIS IS IT. It’s truly light-weight and perfect to put inside a duvet. It lays pretty flat and isn’t puffy […]
It is stunning. I love the dramatic look. We wanted to blend in the 70″ TV. The curtains are not lined but still seem to do the job.
These are TRUE blackout curtains!!! FINALLY I found some curtains that you truly cannot see through. This is (almost) exactly what I was looking for! I went through several other curtains that claimed to be blackout curtains but really, they still let a lot of light through. I had to return several before finally finding […]
