Instructions
Step 1
decorate strong handbag / strong "class =" colorbox imagefield imagefield-imagelink "> Flowers made from a videotape tape look interesting and unusual. To make it easier to make decorations, slightly pull the tape, it will wrap up and become thinner. From such a tape, collect flowers of different size and splendor, and reinforce the middle with colored thick threads. Sew these decorations on the bag, making up any compositions from them that fit the shape of the accessory
Step 2
From the strips of leather, make an unusual fringe in the form of scales. Try to keep them the same size. To do this, from the seamy side, outline an object of a suitable shape with a small piece and cut along this pattern. The more of these strips you cut, the richer the decoration will be. The fringe can also be cut into thin strips, it goes well with vintage suede or leather handbags of reddish-brown color
Step 3
For a summer or evening bag, make silk flowers. Make several pieces of different colors, pin them so that you can change the jewelry on the bag according to your mood or a certain outfit. These colorful flowers are great for your hairstyle, sandals, and tank top, so check whether the fabric is burning or melting before cutting. For you, only one is suitable for work, the edges of which can be melted
Step 4
Cut petals of any shape and size from the selected fabric, the material can be combined. Cut the details obliquely, they will turn out to be more plastic and natural. Light a candle and gently melt the fabric sections to the side of the flame. If you hold the parts on top, soot settles on them. Experiment a little with the method of fusing the edges - try pulling the edges, still warm from the fire, to stretch them for more "waviness". Lay out large petals in a circle and fasten in the middle with a thread, lay smaller ones on them and also fasten. Working in this way, collect a lush flower
Step 5
Sew a large bead or several sequins into the middle of the product to close the threads and make the flower complete. Pick up original decorative elements for your needlework in a sewing accessories store - they will always come in handy for a craftswoman. Sew a pin or satin ribbon on the back of the flower, depending on how you want to attach. Such an element can be fixed on the handle of the bag or on it itself, refreshing the appearance of the product or closing a scratch.
