It’s one thing to walk around with a super chic bag, but it’s another thing to have an accessory that is very functional as well. Making stylish pieces is easy, but it’s often much harder to find a piece that would be equally as practical as it is beautiful. Your bag is supposed to safely carry your most personal possessions and one of the most secure designs can be found in DIY cross-body bags!
1. Plaid Cross-Body Bag
The plaid pattern is recognizable and familiar, ideal for those of you who want to bring something classic to your style. The beauty of DIY projects is that you can always choose your own color palette, so opt for bright and joyful colors to give the plaid cross-body bag a unique look!
