For the wedding I needed handbag to fit my leopard flats which I took with me cause I was wearing killer high-heels :D

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Sewing Machine
  • Zipper
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Material
  • Scissors
  • Faux Leather
  • Embellishment(s)

Steps (6 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    First I took a pair of old leather pants and cut of one leg.

  2. 2

    Evened out the ends and made it just the right size for my flats to fit.

  3. 3

    Found a really nice design, printed it out, cut out of paper and transfered the image onto the leather using white chalk.

  4. 4

    Then cut out design from leather. As it was a faux leather I used simple scissors. It took quite the time and patience ;)

  5. 5

    Took some extra fabric from the dress (which I also made myself). Using hot glue gun glued dangly design bits to it and sewn this material with leather (I used sewing machine).

  6. 6

    Then added chunky zipper ad few embellishments.
    Although I am thinking of doing some more sewing on it, but as I didn't have time, went to the wedding like that :)
