DIY - Alexander Mcqueen Knuckle Duster Clutch

Over the weekend i got an idea for a really cute DIY item. I have been a bit inspired with doing DIY projects since seeing some of Andy from Style Scrapbook posts! This is my first attempt and i recreated (i use this term very loosely) the amazing Alexander Mcqueen knuckle duster skull clutch. I really want to buy one of these but at the moment we are more interested in buying cameras that cost that much instead of bags so in the mean time this will have to do.

• You will need a hard sunglasses case (i am so glad i had this brown moc croc effect one lying around!)

• A pair of pliers

• Jewellery glue

• Wire (i used head pins but normal wire will be better)

• Some kind of base for your ring (i used a filigree one which worked perfectly)

• A skull double finger ring

Its really easy to do and its only a couple of steps!

Step 1:
Attach the ring to the filigree base with your wire. I just fastened it around the ring base and through the bottom of the filigree base until it was really tight and the ring wouldnt move.

Step 2:
Open the sunglasses case and measure the middle. Then put glue on to half of your filigree base and stick it on half of the open side of the case. (you can see in the photo below what i mean)

Step 3:
Let it dry and that is it! Easy!

I cant wait to use this in a proper outfit post! Its so cute and it holds quite a bit. I can fit my sunnies, cellphone, some money or cards and even a lippie inside there. Even if you dont want to use it as a clutch its an awesome way to make your sunglasses case more stylish! (Here is a link to another fab Mcqueen DIY! Let me know if you make one so i can maybe start a list! :)
