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:
Hollow out the book by carefully cutting out the pages.
Line the inside of the cover with fabric.
Add a clasp for closure.
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.
Keep on reading!
