DIY Faux Fur Crossbody Bag

A fur bag? Yes, please! Adding faux fur to anything is a good idea since it makes everything so cute and trendy.

This dyed faux fur crossbody bag is what you need to DIY next.

What You’ll Need:

  • Wooden Dowel
  • Faux fur
  • Glue gen
  • Pink acrylic paint
  • X-acto knife

Steps:

  • Put your faux fur upside down and place your bag over it. Mark the points where you want to cut down the fur so that it fits your bag. Take an X-acto knife and cut 1/3 inch further away from the marks you made.

  • To make your dye, add 2 liters of hot water in a large container and mix in 150ml of acrylic paint. If you feel that the color is too light, you can add in more paint. Make sure you stir the pain in the water so that there is no residue left at the bottom. Oh, and put some gloves on so you don’t end up up staining your hands.
  • Slowly push the faux fur into the dye and stir it. Let it sit for 5 hours while occasionally stirring it. Once you have the desired color, take it out and rinse with cold water until it runs clear. Let it dry.

  • Finally, use a glue gun to stick the fur onto the bag and you’re done.

How easy was this? Go ahead and give that simple old bag an upgrade!
