Dress to Boho Fringe Bag

I’m sure most of us ladies have a dress that we don’t wear, I have a few!

Sometimes I donate them. Other times I turn them into something else, because why say goodbye when you can say hello?

Here’s some tunes for your scroll 🎶

This old, striped gem, from Forever21, is now my purse. It matches my daughter’s, well, sort of! They are both upcycled fringe shoulder bags!

Check her’s out here 🙂

Start by cutting the bottom of your dress into strips

Tie the top and bottom strips together tightly

Check the inside to make sure there’s no holes, re-tie the strips tighter if there is

The bottom is done, for now

Cut the top down the center until just before you reach the drawstring

Cut those halves into thirds and braid each of them into straps

End with the longest strand in the middle and tie the ends into a bow

Knot the straps to hide any extra fabric and tie them together on each side to make two straps

Lastly, cut the bottom strips into thinner fringe and your upcycled bohemian bag is done!
