DIY : The American Apparel Spiked clutch

Hello everyone,
Today I a going to show you a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) Spiked clutch. I had this very cute American Apparel clutch in my closet that didn't get any love (the tags were still on)...
I remember buying it for it simplicity but I guess I changed my mind and decided that it was maybe too simple! And I didn't know where to put that spikes anyways...
I love how it ended. Rock n' Roll Baby...

I couldn't take a decent picture of the front, it looks very blah...But it looks amazing in real life!


The screwback spikes bought on eBay here

Here is what I used... 1)ruler 2)pen 3)clutch 4)spikes 5)eather hole punch tool

draw some marks so you know where to make the holes...



what I am wearing:
American Apparel bodysuit - ROSS Maidenform skirt/dress - American Apparel clutch - h&m necklace - h&m nail polish

Pictures didn't do justice to this clutch lol...
Hope you liked it :)
Do you customize things too? what did you customize? if you have DIY on your blog let me know I would love to check it out.
Love,
Chloé.
