DIY Book Clutch Craft for Teens

 Are you looking for a unique craft idea to engage your teens? A DIY Book Clutch program is perfect! In this session, teens can turn old books into stylish clutches by hollowing out the inside and adding fabric and clasps. It’s a creative way to repurpose damaged or discarded books while promoting sustainability and giving teens a fun, trendy project. I found this idea on Sarah & Nick a DIY blog with awesome ideas!

Materials needed:

  • Old hardcover books (donated or weeded from your collection)

  • Fabric, glue, scissors, and clasps

  • Decorations (stickers, gems, paint, etc.)

Program steps:

  1. Hollow out the book by carefully cutting out the pages.

  2. Line the inside of the cover with fabric.

  3. Add a clasp for closure.

  4. Let teens personalize their clutches with decorations and designs.

Teens will love this hands-on, creative project that allow them to express their individuality. A book clutch is not only a fun and fashionable accessory but also a great way to introduce conversations about upcycling and sustainability. Plus, it gives them something to show off to their friends!

Tune in for my next blog post. I have so many ideas to share.
