THE TOOLS Scissors Two types of fabric: one that’s lightweight for the interior lining, and one that’s heavier, such as a thick canvas or denim, for the exterior of the clutch. For the pictured bag, I chose a print for the lining and solid black for the exterior, to make it easier to customize with the ink or paint.

Cut two 12-inch-by-15-inch pieces from each fabric type so there are four total pieces. custom-stamped-clutch-08-0415.jpg Credit: Madeline Trait 2. Place your exterior fabric on a flat surface, dip your stamps into the ink or paint, and start customizing. You can either plan out your pattern or just go for it. I prefer to do the latter.
