Upstyling a handbag

Take an old handbag, add some vibrant coloured fabric flowers and you have yourself a chic, upstyled accessory.

We love this tutorial, found on the How Do It website, which provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step photos. We would suggest sourcing material from either an emporium or fabric store that has bargain bins containing fabric offcuts at a reduced price.

You could also try this technique on a shopping or overnight bag. Either way, we reckon you’ll have lots of fun creating your own personalised bag.
