A bag of old bags. What to make of an old bag?

Each woman has her own favorite accessory, with which she will not dare to part. For someone, such an important thing is a scarf, for someone - a bracelet, and someone just can not do without a handbag. But what if the beloved guardian of ladies' things has rubbed and lost sight? She just needs to try to give a new life!

Leather

There is a fairly simple way how to make an old bag a new one. It simply needs to be painted. Especially it concerns leather things, which very quickly lose an attractive appearance. To do this, just buy a special paint in the store and carefully, according to the instructions, paint the product. The bag will shine with a new color, and again it will look like a brand new one.

Stages of Transformation 1. Cleaning

It is worth noting that it creates a new bag of old bags is not so already and quickly. In order to transform the product, you will need to go through several stages. So, the first is a complete and thorough cleaning of the product. If the bag is made of leather or a substitute, it must first be wiped with a damp cloth to remove dust. Then you can wash it with a mild soap solution. If the bag has greasy spots, you can remove them with chalk. To do this, it must be crushed, densely sprinkled with a stain and left in this form for a day. To give a shiny bag, you can grease it with a cotton swab dipped in glycerin. If the bag is lacquered, all of the above methods for its transformation will not work. Such a product can only be wiped clean with a damp cloth. As for suede, it can be cleaned with a normal shoe brush with a short bristle, the pellets can be cut off neatly with a clerical knife. To give it a new look, you can wipe such a product with a cotton disc moistened in a solution of ammonia and water (1: 4 ratio).

Transformation stage 2. Lining replacement

A new bag from an old bag can only be obtained after replacing the lining. In order to transform your favorite one in this way, it's enough to cut off the old lining carefully, leaving a small allowance for stitching, about 1-1.5 cm. Now, according to the old example, you need to find a new inner part of the bag. It can consist of two parts, when the fabric just stitches on the sides, but you can also make a bag bottom and sides. To do this, you need to cut a little more detail. It is also good to provide several small pockets, they are very useful for storing various trifles. When the lining is completely ready, you need not forget to edge off the edges that will be sewn. Now the product is attached to its bag. To do this, the lining must be sewn with a hidden seam to the left fabric. Everything, the inside of the bag is replaced!

Transformation Stage 3. Update

How else can the bag be transformed ? Old bags also need to remove old handles. After all, they wear out in the first place. To do this, you can come up with something original, for example, a pen made of wire, nicely wrapped in a cord. It can also be a rope thread, a self-woven handle from strips of fabric, etc. If the bag is classic, you just need to sew a new handle from the skin or dermantine. It is not difficult to do this, because you will need a strip of leather or a substitute, which folds in half, turns at the ends along the entire length and stitches. Next, the finished pen is inserted into the old hardware - everything is ready!

Stage of Transfiguration 4. Decoration

How can you get a new bag of old bags? You can just decorate it again. For this, rhinestones, beads, various beads, new accessories are perfect: chains, brooches, old beads, buttons. However, it is worth remembering that it is better not to overdo it, decorating your product, because everything is good in moderation.

Remaking 1. Bag-Butterfly

What to make of an old bag? Of course, a new bag! To do this, you need only imagination and a few auxiliary tools. So, for example, you can make a beautiful clutch from an old fairly bulky handbag. To do this, you must first go through the first stage of the transformation, described above, then you need to get rid of the lining. Now begins the creative process. You can try to make a butterfly handbag. To do this, use a sewing machine to put a vertical line from the center of the bag down, so do it on both sides. However, you do not need to thread it, but a special thin rubber band, which after all manipulations is simply beautifully assembled into folds and you get such a butterfly bag. It is worth noting that the elastic band can be either a matching bag of color, or perfectly contrast, which will create the effect of decorating the product. The field of this is lined with a lining, cut out according to the structure of the already new bag. It remains only to decorate your beauty at will.

Remaking 2. The quilted bag

Another way, as there may be a new bag of old bags. To do this, you need to completely cut the old product into pieces and think about what you want to see in the end. Now I want to tell you how to make a fashionable quilted bag today. To do this, it is necessary to cut out the details of the new bag from the old pieces - in front and in the back. It is important to remember that you need to leave allowances on the seams, about a centimeter and a half. If the bag is bulky, and not just a torpedo, you also need to cut the sides and the bottom of the product. Now you need to make the front and back quilted. To do this, the tracing paper is useful, which neatly at the very edges of the label refers to the product (it is important to remember that there are traces on the skin and a substitute for the needle from the prick, so it is strictly forbidden to place the mark on the front side) and along it lines are marked along which the line will be inserted. Then everything is spent on the typewriter. You should get a chessboard like this (classical or in the form of diamonds). Now the tracing paper is removed. Next, you need to sew all the details of the product: the bottom, sides and main sides. It is also important to tuck a little cloth on top, so that the zipper does not go along the very top of the bag. Sewn lightning, lining, attach pens (accessories can be bought at any store for needlework and creativity). The new bag is ready!

Remaking 3. Bag from the jacket

A bag made of an old leather jacket can also be created . Here in general everything is easy to do, because it is much more difficult to remodel a product than to do it again. It is necessary to cut out all the whole pieces of the old jacket and then determine with the size of the new handbag. It's not very beautiful to look old jacket sutures on the face of a new product. So, there should be at least two identical pieces of material, from which already at this stage you can make a bag-torgochku. Simply it will be easy to sew the skin on the three sides of the product, sew the appropriate lining, attach the handles (both from the same skin, and contrast - from the fabric or even the rope). You can also sew a zipper. Everything, unpretentious and convenient to use the handbag is ready!
