DIY Macrame Fringe ClutchDIY Macrame Fringe Clutch What you’ll need:
-Fabric (I used some fabric I picked up in India)
-Sewing machine or needle & thread
-Embroidery thread

How to make it:
Clutch: Fold one side of your rectangle over half way, then sew two sides of your fabric, you can do this by hand if you don’t have a sewing machine. If your fabric has raw edges, sew around the edge to prevent fraying.

Macrame Fringe: Cut 24 strips of embroidery thread about 20 inches long each. Thread two pieces through the bottom of the clutch every inch or so. You should end up with 12 lines of thread hanging down. Take the first and third sections of thread and knot together. Do this again with the second and fourth. Repeat until every line is knotted together. Once that row is finished, tie the bottom row together by taking half of one strip and tie it to half of the next strip beside it (see photo).
