How to make Handbag without sewing
Today women’s outfit is not complete without a handbag. Walk along the street and you are sure to see women with all types of handbags. It becomes a little bit difficult to decide what the best handbag is for girls with all the variety that one is sure to find in the market. But money cannot buy style. All is in your hands. You can make a stylish handbag by yourself without sewing it. All you need is a little amount of time, interest and some material easily available at home.
Stuff Required
- Leather piece or similar material
- Round plate
- Ribbon / tie
- Punch Machine
- Scissor
- Marker
- Belt with hooks (Handle)
Step 1
Put a round plate on the piece of leather (taken according to the required size of bag) and mark a circle on the leather piece.
Step 2
Cut the square piece of leather with the help of scissor on the mark.
Step 3
Now you are on the most important step of the making a handbag. Take a round piece of newspaper (equal to the size of leather piece) fold it equally making a semi circle then a pie and so on. 3 to 4 folds are enough. Punch it in the mid of pie shape leaving 1 to 2 inch edge. Now open the folds and put the piece of newspaper on the leather piece and mark on every punch.
Step 4
Punch the leather piece on all the marks clearly.
Step 5
Take the ribbon and pass it through the holes as shown in the figure.
Step 6
Stretch the ribbon from the ends to make the shape of handbag. Knot the ends of ribbon tidily.
Step 7
Put belt on the sides of the handbag to make the handle of handbag.
And your stylish handmade handbag is ready to use.
H, where to get the belt with hooks i.e. the handle from?
You can use your creativity in making the handle yourself, by getting some old trigger hooks and the leather piece of suitable length. Trigger hooks would be easily available in any key-chain store.
Alternatively these can be purchased easily from any craft store or online store like ebay etc.
HOW BIG OF A PIECE OF LEATHER DO I USE AND HOW BIG OF A PIECE OF RIBBON DO I USE ALSO
It totally depends upon the size of the handbag and size of the knot you required. For a normal bag size leather piece of 10 inch radius and 30 inch ribbon would suffice.
And again it totally depends upon the look you required.
This is great
