What happens when a boring, old handbag receives a makeover? Well, it becomes bright and colorful. It almost feels like a new bag. I tried this and re-designed one of my old bags. I used the collage technique to design the bag. It is a simple, easy and DIY way to re-create. So experiment, try it for yourself and re-create!!
What you will need:
1. An old bag
2. Cotton dupattas/ saris
3. Fevicryl Fabric Glue
4. Scissors
5. Iron
6. Lots of creativity and chai
So the steps are as follows:
1. Find yourself an old bag which you want to change and re-design. I had an old blue jute bag which I had bought many years ago. I no longer use it. This is the bag i'm planning to re-create.
2. Take a few dupattas/ saris lying at home which are pretty but not used much. Cut out some squares from the dupattas/ saris, and iron them to even the material out.
3. Based on your liking, apply the Fevicryl fabric glue to the four sides of the piece of dupatta and stick it to the bag randomly. Continue this step until the entire bag is covered with collage cloth.
4. You can also mark the edges of each cloth square with silver or golden glitter fabric pen to give it a more boho look.
5. Keep the bag to dry in a corner of your room for 24 hours -30 hours
And the bag is ready to accompany you on your next outing!! It will look stunning and new!
Try and DIY !!
