I bought this little guy from the thrift store for $3.00. I loved the color, shape, and compartments. I wasn't going to purchase it because it had a broken shoulder strap and I didn't know how I was going to fix it. An idea came to me and it worked out great.
You will need:
Rotary punch
Pliers
Chains (My shoulder strap length required two chains)
Lobster chain clasps
Ribbon (Optional)
Instructions:
Use measuring tape to determine how long of a strap you want. I wanted mine to be a crossbody bag so about 5ft in length.
Use pliers to link chains together and then unlink the excess.
Use pliers to link the chain to each lobster clasp.
Punch a hole through each side of the purse and attach the lobster clasp.
You can stop here if you like or you can spend the next two hours doing the next step =)
Lace ribbon through the chain to recreate that iconic Chanel purse strap look.
Voila!
