You can use pieces of fabric scraps and old materials and sew alone a nice bag. This may also be a great gift idea, or you could use the fabric to wrap something original. The guide will explain how to build a craft bag.

Get the fabric for the bag, scraps of lace, buttons or any glitter and rhinestones to embellish your creation. Will also need the thicker thread, maybe of wool or such as that used for the crochet hook. This will serve to sew the edges of the bag. Decide the size of the bag.

Depending on the size decided, cut rectangles. If you use a rectangle of 20 x 25 cm, you’ll be out a bag of about 8 x 4 cm. Choose the format you like and proceed with the seam. It uses the sewing machine and thread often, so as to close the bag along three sides. On the side of the opening you can choose to sew with wire stresses, another piece of cloth.

Alternatively, you can set a button and use the thick wire to create a closure, or make a small cut to the loop. Another good solution would be to use the fabric to tear, in this case you will also buy the glue for cloth. If you’re more practice you can also sew a zipper, but this procedure is not recommended because it is more difficult.

If you use the bag as a gift, you do well to take careful measurements. Once closed 3 sides, enter the gift inside and use the sewing machine to seal the final end. In case of gift package, the seams need not be along the margins, indeed, can sew along the contents of the bag, or in a zigzag pattern. Using the scraps of lace, old ribbons, buttons or glitter, decorates the front of the bag. With double-sided tape can also apply ourselves on a photograph. The photo, if it is printed on thick enough, it could also be sewn.
