Before winter's over! A JCrew-ey glitter clutch

Before winter's over! A JCrew-ey glitter clutch

Okay, so, kind of long story here... I had been meaning to do this project since I saw J.Crew's holiday catalog 2009.  Yeah, 2009. I think it was this one:

They also had wallets, not sure when... and of course now they have glitter belts, iPhone cases, the works!

Anyway, I had a glitter/ModPodge phase (remember my DIY Christian Louboutin glitter heels?  Awesome project...), and in, uh... February or March of 2010, I finally got around to glitter-ing this wallet I had.  White leather wallet, got it at Goodwill Outlet.

Added a blend of ModPodge mixed with glitter and painted it on with a foam brush thing.  So pretty!

I did both sides of the outside.

Anyway, I didn't post it because I figured it was too late in the season by the time I actually finished it.  But now, glitter is EVERYWHERE, and hey, never too late for glitter, right?!

Although I probably should have posted this before New Year's Eve.  Oops.

Point being, if you want something glitter-ey, DIY it!  I highly recommend mixing ModPodge with glitter from JoAnn and spreading it on.  The glitter doesn't fall off at all, and it's still plenty shiny and almost smooth to the touch.  And this thing has lasted two years, and it's still looking okay!

Have you been into glitter this winter?  Do any fun sparkly projects? ;)
