What You'll Learn
Choosing a wedding clutch bag pattern
When choosing a wedding clutch bag pattern, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, the size of the bag is important. A clutch bag that is too large can look casual, so it is best to choose a size that is not too big, ideally no larger than A4. This will ensure the bag looks elegant and sophisticated while still having enough storage space for essential items.
The material of the clutch bag is another key consideration. Plain leather is a good choice as it is unobtrusive, luxurious, and sure to elevate your outfit. If you opt for a coloured clutch, plain fabric without a pattern is still best, as this will ensure the bag does not draw too much attention. Dark tones are also preferable, with black being a particularly elegant and formal choice.
If you are making the bag yourself, there are many patterns available to purchase online, with some retailers offering free patterns. The Dorothy Clutch Bag, for example, is a simple envelope clutch bag with an asymmetric flap and a single large bow. This pattern is ideal for weddings as it is small and can be made from a variety of fabrics, including cotton quilting, silk, brocade, or floral home decor fabric.
If you are feeling particularly sentimental, you could even make a clutch bag from a vintage wedding dress, as described in a tutorial by Little Red Window. This unique idea allows you to have a piece of your family with you on your special day and is sure to be a talking point!

Arranging jewels and other decorations
Firstly, gather your supplies. You will need a clutch bag, preferably a foldover clutch so that you can jewel the flap. You will also need jewellery bonding glue, rhinestones, and any other embellishments you want to add. The possibilities are endless, so get creative! You could add pearls, beads, or even a pair of statement earrings.
Next, arrange your jewels and other decorations. Before you start gluing, take a few minutes to arrange your jewels and other decorations in your pattern of choice. Pre-arranging guarantees that you won't be stuck struggling to cram jewels into the final corner of your clutch after discovering they don't quite fit.
Finally, start gluing! Press and hold each rhinestone or other decoration for a few seconds after gluing to make sure it sticks. This process should take between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the size of your clutch and how many decorations you are adding. Once you've finished gluing, give your clutch several hours to a day to dry.
And that's it! You now have a beautiful, custom-made wedding clutch bag, perfect for adding a touch of sparkle to your wedding attire.

Gluing jewels and decorations
Now comes the fun part: decorating your clutch! This is your chance to get creative and make your clutch truly unique. Here are some tips to help you achieve the best results when gluing jewels and decorations to your wedding clutch bag:
- Gather your supplies: You will need your clutch bag, jewellery bonding glue (such as E6000 Jewellery & Bead glue), rhinestones, and any other embellishments you want to add. You can use any colour, shape, and size of rhinestones, and get creative with other decorations such as beads, pearls, or even earrings.
- Arrange your jewels first: Before you start gluing, take some time to arrange your jewels and decorations in your desired pattern. This will ensure that they fit nicely on your clutch and prevent any last-minute cramming.
- Start gluing: When you are happy with your arrangement, begin gluing the jewels to your clutch. Apply a small amount of glue to the back of each rhinestone or decoration and press it firmly onto the clutch. Hold each piece in place for a few seconds to ensure it sticks properly.
- Allow drying time: After you have finished gluing all your jewels and decorations, let your clutch bag dry completely. This usually takes a few hours to a day, depending on the type of glue you use.
- Add a personal touch: Consider adding a special touch to your clutch, such as a sentimental piece of jewellery or a family heirloom. For example, you could incorporate a piece of vintage jewellery that has been passed down through generations.
- Embellish with care: Be careful not to overload your clutch with too many jewels and decorations. A simple, elegant design can be just as stunning as a heavily embellished one. Choose a pattern or arrangement that complements the shape and style of your clutch.
- Consider the colour palette: When selecting your jewels and decorations, think about the colour palette of your wedding. You could match the colours of your clutch to your wedding theme or choose complementary shades.

Sewing the fabric together
Now that you have your fabric cut out and your magnetic snaps inserted, it's time to start sewing! Layer your fabrics, placing the batting down first, then the lining fabric with the right side facing up, and finally the outer fabric with the right side facing down. Pin the layers together all the way around the edges.
Using a sewing machine or sewing by hand, sew around the edges of the fabric layers with a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Leave an opening along one side, as shown in the diagram, for turning the clutch right side out. Sew as close to the edge as possible without going over.
Once you've sewn around the edges, carefully clip the corners, being careful not to cut through your stitches. Clipping the corners will help create crisp corners when the clutch is turned right side out. After clipping the corners, turn the clutch right side out through the opening you left in the previous step. Use a pointed tool, like a chopstick or knitting needle, to push out the corners gently. Press the clutch with an iron to smooth out any creases. At the opening, press the raw edges inside, and pin it closed if desired.
Now, fold your clutch into thirds and pin the sides. Sew up the sides of the clutch, staying as close to the edge as possible. And that's it! You've sewn your clutch bag together.

Adding a magnetic snap
- Gather your supplies: You will need a magnetic snap, fabric for your clutch, fusible interfacing, and tools like a sewing machine, scissors, and an iron.
- Prepare the fabric: Cut your fabric to the desired size and shape for your clutch. Following this, fuse a small piece of interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric where you plan to insert the snap. This adds stability and reinforcement to the fabric.
- Mark the snap placement: Decide where you want your magnetic snap to be placed. Mark the centre point for the snap on the right side of the fabric.
- Attach the snap: Position the male part of the magnetic snap (the bump) on the marked centre point, making sure it faces away from the fabric. Secure it in place by sewing carefully along the edges of the snap. Repeat this process for the female part of the snap (the socket), placing it on the corresponding location on the other side of the fabric.
- Test and adjust: Once both parts of the snap are attached, test the closure to ensure they align properly. If needed, adjust the placement by gently removing the stitches and re-sewing the snap in the desired position.
- Finalize the clutch: With the magnetic snap securely in place, continue with assembling the rest of your clutch according to your chosen pattern or tutorial.
Remember to refer to a comprehensive tutorial for making a wedding clutch bag, as this will provide additional steps and instructions for creating a beautiful and functional clutch.
