If you like my purse designs, please subscribe to my blog on my homepage to receive emails about my duct tape creations!

Also, if you are interesting in ordering and buying one of my accessories, please email me or leave a comment, but first follow the steps below to decide what you would like to order!

Step 1: Choose a color!  The colors of duct tape are available below with color names listed.  Generally, two colors or a color and a print look best for the weave pattern but one single color would also look nice.


Silver and Purple

Step 2: Choose the style:  Currently I have two styles, the purse and the cutout handle clutch.  More styles will come soon.

Step 3: Choose the type of handles.  Currently, the choices are two flat handles (one on each side) or one strap (end to end) or rope handles (one on each side or I can do end to end with rope handles)

Step 4: Choose the Interior.  I generally line the interior in the solid color if I am working with a color and a print.  However, if you choose two colors, decide what color you would like the interior to be lined in.

Interior fully lined without pockets.

Step 5: Choose the Pockets.  I currently have three different types of pockets.  One pocket fits on each side, but I could also make smaller pockets that could fit next to each other on one side. Pockets also use extra tape, which increases the price.  If you are looking for a simple purse with just lining, it looks fine too! But pockets also give you the ability to customize the interior to fit what you need to in your purse!

The pocket at the top is basically a holder for things like cell phones that you want to gain easy access to. There is no closure on this pocket. The pocket at the bottom of this picture is a small envelope pocket that has magnets to close it and is good for tucking things into the purse.

The pocket with the bow top is the same as the second pocket in the above picture, except it has a magnetic cover so that nothing can slip out of the pocket at all. This can come with or without the bow.

Step 6: Choose Purse Closure.  There is a choice of magnets (these hold somewhat well but come apart easily) or a snap (which holds together very strongly and looks a lot nicer).  The less attractive side of the snaps can be covered with a bow.

Then use these steps to tell me exactly what you want! Depending on the purse you choose, it can take me 3 to 10 hours of working on it.
