DIY Straw Hat into Straw Bag!

 HI!

If you have followed my blog for a while (I mean, this was a whilllleeee ago!) I made these leather handles for an existing straw bag in this post when the handles broke off... but wanted to try remaking a bag again... this time a hat into a bag. Yes, you read that right. 



Have you ever seen this bag by designer Jil Sander? 


The second I saw it, I thought about how I could recreate that out of a hat! (I mean, right?? Totally looks like a hat) I also thought about how absurd it was that it cost $2000 :)


I purchased a cheap hat from Amazon (I'll link below in case you want the same one) or maybe you have one laying around?? A thift store is also a great place to look. This was during lockdown/quaratine & all the thrift stores were closed. A very dark time in my life ;) All jokes aside, I hope everyone is well and happy and able to enjoy their freedom and fresh air!! I was pregnant during this time so you will get to see baby bump in these photos. It was also a v hot day! I can almost feel the heat in these pics :) 



So glad to have this out there and posted! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments! Would love to be of help to anyone wanting to try this out! 



Thank you so much for reading, following and subscribing to my YouTube Channel!! (It would mean so so much to me if you would!!)
