Instructions

  1. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20481

    Prepare materials and plug in your iron.

  2. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20483

    Measure the height of your tote. Cut strips of studded trim based on your measurements. We cut 11 strips at 14" each.

  3. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20484

    Line up strips the way you would like them to end up on your tote.

  4. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20488

    Starting with the left side, place a piece of paper over one strip, and iron on for 30 seconds. Be very careful, you must hold the strip to ensure straight placement. The studs also get very hot from the iron so be careful!

  5. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20493

    Continue to iron on all strips until you are finished. It is okay if the strip is longer than the bag, you can always clip off the ends. Now, prepare to sew on the chain strap.

  6. Small diy 20photoshoot 20and 20projects 20496

    Sew the leather part of the chain into the side seam of the inside of the tote. We left about 3 inches of chain on the inside of either end.

    Repeat with the other side. You are now finished and should totally rock this bag!!
