How to decorate the bag with your own hands?

Stylish bag - a necessary accessory in the wardrobe of every girl. However, it often happens that even the most favorite bag starts to bother. In this case, there is a simple solution - think about how you can refresh it. Interesting applications, decoupage, embroidery, ribbons and rhinestones are able to give a second life to any accessory. How to decorate the bag with your own hands?

If there is no time to decorate, but you really want something new, you can try to tie a fashionable scarf on your purse. Scarves will harmoniously complement the accessory and will be an interesting note, which will certainly be noticed by the surrounding:

• Scarves look very nice, tightly wound on the handle. This option is suitable for handles of medium length. Twist the scarf into a tube and wind it over the handle, and tie the ends into knots.

• Another spectacular method is a side scarf. Good looks model in a contrasting color, tied in a bow. You can make a neat little bow, and a big lush with falling ends.

And for the girls who have round holes in the bag, the designers recommend a completely new version, first tested by Gucci.

• Replaceable straps of rich color - the solution is not new, but relevant. Today, many designers produce bags and extra belts so that you can change the images.

If your strap is attached to the carbines, then it's time to take it off and try something more unusual. The trend of this season will be wide belts, as well as bright contrasting models.

It does not matter if your favorite leather bag does not look like the day of purchase. There are several ways to remedy the situation.

Decoupage is a great way to breathe life into leather or leatherette accessories. First you need to thoroughly clean the entire surface of the bag from dust and dirt.

After that, cut from decoupage napkins the necessary parts with which you will finish the bag.

Apply a decoupage glue to each element with a brush and distribute it evenly. Glue all the parts to the right places and leave the bag to dry for about five hours.

When this time passes, the surface will need to be covered with a special varnish for leather surfaces. After 8-9 hours, the procedure should be repeated.

Cross-stitch is an acceptable, but rather long and difficult process. Only those girls who have a lot of free time and patience can try it out. Suitable embroidery exclusively for handbags made of very thin leather. On the other hand, the resulting accessory will look stunning, especially complementing the image in the folk style.

Beads can be used to decorate leather models. Get a ready-made embroidery pattern, multi-colored beads, and as a result a pretty attractive accessory will be released.But this method is also suitable only for bags made of thin leather. More dense models are well decorated with rhinestones. You will need monochromatic or multi-colored rhinestones and special glue for decoupage.

Fringe decoration is not the easiest method, but trying it out is realistic:

• Turn the bag inside out, and, departing a few millimeters from the seams, make small markings.
• Put on the markings small divisions of approximately 1-1.5 cm, and punch holes in these places.
• After that, it is necessary to hook a leather braid bought in advance into the holes.
• It remains only to unscrew the bag again and the new accessory is ready.

One of the most simple methods is stone finishing. You can buy small pebbles and attach them with glue.

A good option - already finished ribbon with stones. Several such ribbons on your bag - and the accessory will play with new colors.

Trim textile bags - a pleasure, because they are very easy to work. There are more interesting solutions here than with leather models.

The first one is stylish embroidery. Original pattern embroidery looks like thick threads. This season will be popular bags, embroidered with flowers, shells, fruits, leaves.

In the center or side of the bag you can also embroider a small pattern or make a beautiful pattern of rhinestones or pebbles.

Denim models look great in combination with various buttons. Each girl probably has a collection of their old buttons, which can not be adapted. Now the solution has been found - sew them in a random pattern on the jeans bag and get an interesting new model.

If you like to draw and paint pictures, it's time to try yourself in handbag painting. For this fit both denim models and bags made of flax. Paints must be of good quality, preferably acrylic, so that the product can be washed later.

Beginners are encouraged to use the stencil, and to the wrong side to enclose a sheet of cardboard or a wide book.

A great way to trim a handbag is appliqué. It is always a win-win. It is best to choose safe materials, such as leather or felt. You can make beautiful volumetric flowers from them, which with the help of glue will be easily attached to the product.

It happens that the bag looks quite decent, but the handles leave much to be desired. Do not throw away your favorite product, update them easily enough. If the handles are attached, they can be completely replaced by simply repulsing the handbag. Get new leather straps and stitch them, attaching to the product.

Handles on the rings - the best option. They can be easily removed from the rings and replaced with a beautiful stylish chain or strap. Another thing - static pens, which can not be removed or detached. In this case, tapes, strips of leather or fabric will help. They will have to wrap the entire handle by making a hole at its edge and securing it with a loop.

But summer rag handbags - a real flight for fantasy. Elegantly look new wooden knobs or hoops.

If this is not an option for you, try to make the strap yourself. Fit denim and flax. Having made such a pen, it remains only to firmly sew it.

Decorating a simple white handbag is always interesting, because you yourself create a personal masterpiece. If the printing of prints or applications in your plans is not included, you can simply update the color.The main disadvantage of white is that it quickly gets dirty and acquires unpleasant scuffs that cannot be removed. Purchase a special paint to match your bag and apply it to the product.

On leather white bags looks great bright color decoupage. And it can be not only big flowers. An unusual solution will be unusual geometric shapes, faces, surrealistic pictures. Perfectly look contrasting images of birds, animals and trees.

If you have a white fabric bag without a pattern, then an excellent option is to embroider a pattern. Today, thousands of templates are sold that will help in applying embroidery. From materials you can use not only threads, small and large buttons, beads, tiny beads will look beneficial.

White bags are perfect for painting with acrylic paints. Beginner girls can draw volumetric flowers or fruits, and for professionals it is possible to write whole pictures.

In addition to painting, the product can be decorated with stylish volume appliqué. All you need is scissors, a few pieces of cloth and glue. From the fabric, you can make flowers or bows and attach them to the glue.

Embroidery ribbons - not just a stylish decoration, it is also a real anti-stress.

To embroider an interesting appliqué, you will need a needle, a sketch with a pattern, a satin fabric of the desired colors, and, of course, a textile bag:

• The first thing that needs to be done is to transfer the pattern to the fabric with a small pencil or pencil. Embroidery of sunflowers looks very interesting on the fabric, and it is quite easy to use.

• Secure the fabric well, and begin the process by embroidering the stalks and leaves. Simple standard stitches will do, but at the end of the work you need to twist them with a ribbon. The tape will need to be twisted, otherwise the picture will turn out unrealistic. It is good to use a knitting needle in this business, it passes perfectly through the fabric and facilitates the process of withdrawing a needle.

• Once finished with the stems, you can go to the sunflowers themselves. It would be advisable to start with small flowers, embroidering petals, and then sepals. Large sunflowers require a bit of a different tactic. We glue the middle with a paper circle and embroider the petals and the sepal.

To achieve volume, embroider the petals in several layers, it is better if there are four of them. Start from the bottom using a wider ribbon of a darker color. From above we impose the second layer, between the lower petals. After that, add two more rows, and you will only have to unfasten the paper circle and embroider the middle with a black ribbon in the shape of knots. At the end, color the central petals in a darker color.

To master the technique of embroidery ribbons alone is not difficult. A good example of doing this kind of work can be viewed in the following video:
