Think you need a new bag? Think again! Bag charms are the easiest and cheapest solution to getting that good-as-new looking bag without actually buying one. Here’s how to make a charm for your bag...
You’ll need: Safety Pins – Lots in various sizes
Beads – Lots in different colours and sizes
Thin elastic – About 15 cm
Get Started…
- Open up a safety pin and thread beads onto it. Get creative and have fun with the pattern!Close the pin
- Repeat this process on as many pins as you can.
- Make a knot in one end of the elastic and thread a bead onto it.
- Thread all the safety pins onto the piece of elastic, before tying another knot, and securing with a bead.
- Attach to the handle or zip of the bag and you’re good to go!
- Badges look great on bags. Attach them in clusters or patterns.
- Fabric pens allow you to write your own messages and create unique designs. Write your favourite lines from songs or your favourite sayings!
- Have a look for fabric scraps or patches and sew on – it gives a real vintage, worn effect.
- Go through your Mums sewing box and look for any loose buttons. The more odd buttons, the better they’ll look together.
- Not sure what to do when you lose an earring? Just pin the other onto your bag, and secure on the inside!
