I can’t believe it but this is my 100th post!  Plus, I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary of this little project!  Thanks to all of you who are paying attention.  I hope you get little bit of inspiration every once and awhile. 🙂

This is the bag from yesterday’s post.  Let me start by saying I have little to no use for small bags.  I use them more on vacation, but I do like to have clutches that fit into my bigger bag so I can grab the clutch part on the go (running to the store mostly).  I need my clutches to have a wrist strap.  Having to hold onto a clutch leaves you with just one hand, so I always look for a wristlet that is big enough to hold my phone, some lip gloss and my wallet.

Here’s what I did to make this crossbody a clutch, I took it to a cobbler (shoe repair).  Had them remove the strap and add lobster claws to the long strap so it would be removable.  Then I asked them to make me a wrist strap and add a lobster claw to that.  Now I can change it from crossbody to wristlet anytime.

PS.  I have reworked this concept to work with other bags as well.  My pink Buddah Bag (seen here) has a removable crossbody strap that I add to this little bag that I mostly use a clutch. I bought this colorful number at Walmart when I was looking for a vacation clutch (I cut off the long strap that I had no use for).  And now that I have the wristlet attachment I can add it to almost any small bag I have.
