How Do You Make Handbags From Placemats?
Making handbags is a fun craft. Boutique bags are popular among many different age groups of women and girls. If you buy a ready-made boutique bag, it can be expensive. There are many to choose from, but perhaps the price is scaring you away from purchasing a ready-made bag. If you possess even a modest amount of sewing skills, you could easily make a handbag of your own using a purchased place mat. The materials needed to complete this bag are not extensive and this project could easily be completed in about an hour. Cut four 18-inch lengths of ribbon to make the handbag handles. Make one handle by bonding two lengths of ribbon to each other. You are making a double strength of ribbon for a handle by laying out two lengths of ribbon on top of each other with the bonding adhesive tape sandwiched between the ribbon. Bond them to each other following the manufacturer’s instructions on the package. Make the second handle in the same way. Position a ribbon on the wrong side of a width edge
