The duct tape clutch

The duct tape clutch has made its first public appearance and passed the functionality test.  Admittedly, I'm used to larger bags that hold everything but the kitchen sink.  Though, clutches aren't made to hold much.  And this one managed to hold my essentials at least- wallet, keys, cell phone, and gum. Yes, gum.  I'm seriously like a smoker when it comes to gum.  Super addicted, and I'll freak out if I don't have gum on me.  It even sounds like an addiction: "oh, I use about a pack a week. Sometimes more when things have been stressful".

Without any decorations, I thought the clutch was fairly blah. So for a little edge, I added a tassel that broke off another bag I have.  Hourray for packrat-ing random items that I think I'd have some use for again someday!
