From a controversial appearance of Tupac at Coachella to the beloved 80's cartoon streaming on Netflix, it seems holograms are having a moment. Famed designer, Stella McCartney, chose to feature the ethereal iridescence at her Spring 2013 runway show with the Olegram Clutch (shown above). The Olegram clutch is stunning, but, it retails for a very steep $590 (that's nearly $200 per dimension..). I decided to go the much cheaper DIY route, and it cost less than $10 to make!

Instructions

  1. Small 108869 2f2015 05 13 230947 holgoram

    Using a marker, trace the sides of the plastic envelope to the back (white side) of the holographic film and cut out each section (3 total - front, back, and flap) with scissors.

  2. Small 108869 2f2015 05 13 230955 img 6402

    Carefully peel and stick the film to the envelope. Starting from the center, smooth out any air bubbles with the palm of your hand, and follow with a ruler or another flat object (a rolling pin would work as well).

  3. Small 108869 2f2015 05 13 231010 20130203 202702

    Trim any excess film from the edges and, voila! Holographic Heaven.
