Easy Two Piece Bag and How to use Rivets - Make a Tote Bag

EASY TWO PIECE BAG and HOW TO APPLY RIVETS
Make a tote bag

I demonstrate a simple two piece beginner friendly bag and how to apply rivets and hardware to bling up any simple creation.

This quick and easy bag is made with just 2 pieces of fabric yet is fully lined and has an inside facing. At the end I’ll show you how to change the size of the bag to make into any style you wish. Cutting instruction sizes below.

I’ll also show you how to use a rivet hand press to attach the cross body strap and tote handles with advice on the types and sizes of rivets suitable for bag making. It’s so simple.

Great tutorial Diane & a great showcase for your straps, between the rivets & the straps it just goes to show how even the simplest of bags can be lifted to having the professional finish we all want to achieve.
