truebluemeandyou: DIY Vlieger & Vandam Inspired Guarden Angel Leather Clutch Tutorial. One fashion blogger who saw this on my site just wrote that this was the best knockoff ever. And I have to agree. The possibilities are endless.

DIY Vlieger & Vandam Inspired Guarden Angel Leather Clutch Tutorial from Passions for Fashion here. This is not a really easy DIY, but the instructions are really good. I used Chrome to translate from Danish to English, but in the comments section she has an English translation. I would strongly suggest reading the comments’ section for advice on the thickness of leather and note the temps are in Celsius not Fahrenheit so 85 degrees Celsius is 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Very cool DIY project. Top Photo: Vlieger & Vandam FW’12/13 as seen here, Bottom Photo: DIY from Passions for Fashion. *For more knockoffs go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/knockoff
