DIY STATEMENT BAG
DIY STATEMENT BAG
You will need a novelty container, a piece of leather, ruler, scissors, a pen, screwdriver, screws, a soldering iron or drill and adhesive velcro dots
Measure a piece of leather 120 by 6 cms
Now just cut the leather
Fold in half with long edges together then pin and sew 3 mm from the edge
Cut the excess of leather
Mark the place where you will attach the leather on each side of the container
Using the soldering iron make a hole in the leather and the container on each side. You could also use a drill instead
Measure and cut a strip of leather 13 by 4 cms
To keep the bag closed we`ll attach the strip of leather to the back of the container. Create 2 holes on the container and leather as shown.
Use the screws to fasten the leather strip to the back of the container
Stick one velcro dot to the leather and one to the bottom front of the container
This is how it should look like once it is done
