Keychain on carabiner
The easiest way to decorate a women's bag. The carabiner clasp allows you to attach the keychain to a handle, pocket flap, zipper slider. The most popular are key rings with logo pendants of famous brands. By the way, the fashion houses themselves offer such options for pendants, however, they are far from cheap. For example, in the line of pendants in the form of flowers, berries, funny men made of fur from Fendi, prices start at 490 euros.
The option is much simpler - a pendant on a bag in the form of a miniature rabbit. Recently, everyone has been wearing such pendants of different colors, from first-graders to young girls. The touching fur rabbit was invented by Chinese designer Ella Liu, and the pendant was mass-produced thanks to the Danish company Kopenhagen Fur, a well-known manufacturer of natural fur products. The cost of the original is at least $ 80, but you can buy inexpensive analogues in online stores.
bright scarf
A scarf or handkerchief can simply be tied at the base of the handles of the bag so that its ends are of different lengths and fall freely down. The advantage of this decor is that you can change scarves, depending on what you are wearing. The original option is to unfasten the long handle (designed to carry the bag on the shoulder) and tie a scarf instead. Alternatively, you can tightly braid one of the short handles of the bag with a scarf.
Applications
This method is suitable for decorating both leather and textile bags. You can make multi-layered applications, superimposing fragments of different diameters and shapes on top of each other, or a smooth application in the form of a mosaic of multi-colored patches of eco-leather. The application can be a full-fledged drawing with a storyline (roofs of houses in a night city, a forest by a river, a view of the mountains). The main thing is not to limit your imagination and fasten all the elements with high quality.
Picture
Similar to the appliqué, it is suitable for bags made of any material. Depending on what surface you plan to paint on (fabric, leather), select the type of paint. There are many options: paint can be applied using a stencil, or you can make a graffiti-style drawing, draw ornaments in an ethnic style, or simply apply freehand strokes in the manner of the impressionists. Do not forget to ask - how to properly prepare the surface before applying the picture and how to process the bag after everything is completed. This is necessary in order for the drawing to last as long as possible.
Overlay decor
It all depends on your taste. To decorate bags, you can use stones, brooches, crystals, buttons of different sizes, various accessories (metal rings, chains) and even fringe (you can buy it ready-made, with carabiner mounts, or make it yourself from a separate piece of leather or eco- skin). Metal cones or hemispheres will look extravagant. Decorative beads usually have a through hole through which a thread fixing them is threaded. Stones, spikes and crystals can be fastened with metal prongs at the base, which are pierced into the bag and then bent over from the back. Alternatively, you can use a glue gun to fix decorative elements.
Embroidery
You can use this method for leather bags, but most often embroidery is still found on textile bags. It can be both “classic” embroidery with satin stitch or cross stitch, and embroidery with ribbons, beads, using sequins, wooden or glass beads, and other things. There is only one difficulty: before you do the embroidery, you will have to rip off the lining of the bag so as not to “grab” it with threads.
Stickers, patches
They can be fixed with machine stitching or have an adhesive backing. With the latter option, the easiest way is to choose a suitable sticker, attach it to the bag and iron it through a thin, damp cloth. The whole process takes a couple of minutes, and the bag is completely transformed. By the way, stickers are the most convenient way to mask scuffs or holes on old denim backpacks or textile bag bags.
clutches
In addition to the options already mentioned, there are several more original decorating methods for clutches. You can attach a bead handle to a miniature handbag: this solution has long been proposed by the brands Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana. To make the bead-shaped handle more durable and keep its shape, you can thread a hard wire through it. You can even use a bracelet instead of a pen. Finally, the clutch can be connected to a belt and worn on the belt. The latter method is convenient in that the belts can be changed. To do this, just attach a belt loop to the back of the clutch.

To make a simple fabric bag bright and summery, decorate it with a pattern of lemons! You will need acrylic paint for fabric in yellow and black, a brush, a waterproof backing (such as cellophane), and the bag itself. First, wash, dry and iron the bag. Place a backing pad inside so that the paint only gets on the front of the bag. Draw lemons with yellow paint (you can first outline their outlines with a pencil). When the paint is dry, add black dots. If the instructions require it, after drying, fix the paint with an iron.

Mix blue with white paint in different containers so that shades from blue to blue are obtained. Using a stamp, fill in the contour of the anchor with paints. Dry the product and, if necessary, fix the paint with an iron.
3. Fabric bag painted with gold paint

DIY bag photo
Such paper can be bought in stationery, as well as where everything is for computers, printers. It is called thermal transfer paper, it is available for light and dark fabrics, in a pack of 10 sheets - written for inkjet printers, but also suitable for laser printers. The technology is simple in principle - print the drawing and iron it with a hot iron.
Here is the instruction that comes with EPSON Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper:
Translators on fabric using thermal paper.
If you have not tried it yet, then be sure to try it and you will like it, because:
* The image thermal transfer process will allow each member of your family to easily create their own images based on fabric materials!
* Excellent image quality and high resolution!
* Images and factory texture remain unchanged even after washing in the washing machine!
For thermal transfer you will need the following:
* Image thermal transfer paper
* Any of the inkjet printers
* Iron
* Flat, hard, smooth, non-porous heat-resistant table or other surface. Do not use ironing boards, wood, metal or glass surfaces.
* A piece of pure matter
* Fabric where you want to transfer the image (T-shirt, napkin, etc.)
You can use any program to create an image. If your image contains text, don't forget to "mirror" the image.
Image printing
* Insert one sheet of thermal transfer paper into the printer with the printed side correctly positioned. Make sure that the thermal transfer paper mark is in the upper right corner and that the paper is not curled or folded.
* Set the paper thickness adjustment lever to "0".
* Print the image.
* After you have printed the image, cut it out with scissors, leaving approximately 5-6 mm around the edges of the image.
Before starting the thermal transfer procedure, check your iron. Irons have different heating rates. If your iron is not hot enough for thermal transfer, you can increase the time required for thermal transfer. If you have never tried transferring images to fabric with an iron before, we recommend that you practice thermal transfer of small images using old unnecessary things for this. This will help you get ready to transfer large and high quality images.
* Heat the iron to maximum temperature and do not turn it off until the end of the thermal transfer procedure. The iron must be very hot. Do not use steam for thermal transfer.
* Take a piece of any material and put it on the table so that its edge hangs from the table. Smooth it out to get rid of wrinkles. Make sure there are no seams on the work surface.
* Lay the item to be thermal transferred on the fabric.
* Iron the product with an iron.
* Lay the printed image face down on the fabric where it will be placed.
Be very careful not to touch the work surface of the iron or the transfer paper. When not in use, place the iron in a safe place and do not allow children to touch the iron or the transfer area.
For best results, choose the thermal transfer technique that works best for you.
Thermal transfer of large images
Step 1-6: Fixing the Image When using thermal transfer, use only the "wide" part of the iron whenever possible. Using the "narrow" part of the iron does not provide the best results.
Starting at the top left corner (Step 1), slowly move the iron along the thermal transfer sheet, pressing it firmly against the surface (this should take about thirty seconds).
Repeat this procedure for the middle (Step 2) and bottom (Step 3) of the thermal transfer sheet.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 about 30 sec. about 30 sec. about 30 sec. After you have completed steps 1, 2 and 3, turn the iron.
This time, starting from the lower left corner (Step 4), move the iron slowly along the image sheet, pressing it firmly against the surface.
Repeat this procedure for the middle (Step 5) and top (Step 6) of the thermal transfer sheet.
Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 about 30 sec. about 30 sec. about 30 sec.
After you have completed step 6, iron the surface as described in step 7.
Step 7: Iron the surface of the sheet with the image, without lifting the iron from the table, after about 30 circular movements. Make sure all edges of the transferred image are ironed with each circular motion. Each movement should take about 4 seconds. Press the iron firmly against the surface.
Step 8: Remove paper from thermal transfer product. After you've made the last circle move, put the iron in a safe place and turn it off. Wait one to two minutes for the transfer area to cool down. Starting at any corner, remove the paper from the product. Removing paper may be difficult if the transfer area has been allowed to cool for too long.
Thermal transfer of small images Small images (4"x4" or 10x10 cm) are much easier to transfer onto fabric.
1. Start ironing on one side of the image. Slowly move the iron along the thermal transfer sheet for about five seconds. This will fix the image on the surface.
2. Holding the iron firmly, without lifting it from the surface, slowly move it over the image for 45 seconds - 1 minute. Be careful not to overheat the thermal transfer product.
3. Place the iron in a safe place and turn it off when you are done. Wait one to two minutes for the transfer area to cool down. Starting at any corner, remove the paper from the thermal transfer product. Removing paper may be difficult if the transfer area has been allowed to cool for too long.
Tip If you are transferring more than one image to a product, make sure that the thermal transfer does not overlap with the images already applied.
The product you receive from EPSON's thermal transfer process is machine wash resistant, but you can protect colors and image quality by following these simple tips:
* Wash only in cold water and, if possible, use a special detergent for washing colored items.
* Wash colored and white items separately.
* Remove items from the washing machine immediately after the end of the washing process.
* Dry items in the dryer under normal conditions.
Of course, you can arrange in this way not only a bag, but anything you like - T-shirts, shirts, swimming trunks, a baseball cap, tablecloths ...
And if you frame it with your photo, or a photo of your loved one, it will turn out to be a miracle.
Good luck to everyone, creative success and more exclusives
