DIY (How to give an old bag a make over? / napravi sama (Kako preobraziti staru torbicu?)

This May I decided to challenge myself to make one DIY every day. In addition, I challenged myself to paint and draw every single day. So far, so good. Well, if we ignore the fact that I'm exhausted. That put aside, I've been occupied with many projects with a varying degree of success. I'm not sure if all the DIYs will make it to my blog, but at least some of them will. As a matter of fact, some of these DIY projects were already featured. 

Today I will show you how to give your old bag a make over. This bag is faux leather and it became worn out. I've decided to make it fun by applying fabric paints to it. When it comes to faux leather,  to decorate it (i.e paint on it) you can also use nail polish and acrylic paint. However, if the bag you want to refresh is a leather one, I would recommend using leather paints. This DIY will take you about ten minutes, give or take a few....it might depend on the drying time of the fabric paint you used.

Ovog svibnja odlučila sam si postaviti mali izazov, a to je neki "napravi sama" projekt svakog dana.  Naravno to mi nije dosta, pa sam si postavila i izazov crtanja i slikanja svakog dana. Za sada mi dobro ide, ako ignoriramo činjenicu da sam iscrpljena. No, dobro u svakom slučaju, zabavljena sam raznim projekzima, s nekima manje uspješno nego s drugima te nisam sigurna hoće li svi ti "napravi sama" projekti dospijeti na blog, ali barem neki sigurno hoće (mogli ste primijetiti da neki već i jesu).

Danas ću vam pokazati preobražaj stare torbice. Ova torbica je od eko kože i postala je iznošena. Odlučila sam je učiniti zabavnijom tako da sam je oslikala tektilnim bojama. Što se tiče eko kože, možete mirne duše koristiti i lak za nokte pa čak i akrilne boje da je oslikate, ali ako je torbica od prave kože ipak bi preporučila boje za kožu. Vrijeme potrebno za ovaj projekt je oko deset minuta, možda koju minutu duže. Neke se tekstilne boje suše brže od drugim, pa može malo o tome ovisiti...

    1. možeš probati koristiti šablone ako ti ne ide crtanje, a često je sa njima rezultat i bolji jer izgleda urednije i nekako dorađenije.

  13. Really good idea! I have so many bags that look like crap, but I'm too sentimental to throw them out :D This is awesome! I think it would look great to glue some fabric on top, or buttons or beads too ^_^

    1. it would...I actually glued some floral napkins on one of my bags. I never tried sewing something onto a bag, but that might work too....you just gave me an idea!

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.
