Let's Flip Some Thrifted Placemats into a BoHo Crossbody Bag || With a bonus THRIFT HAUL

You know I'm a cheap queen. When I found these woven placemats for only $.50 each, I knew I needed to upcycled them into something more useful. And in about 3 hours, I was able to flip them into some pretty neat crossbody boho bags to sell at my upcoming craft market. And with a few details like leather straps and brass details, they no longer feel like something bound for the dump.

I love the idea of a bag from that men’s jacket. They’re on my list to watch for!

They look so expensive! I could believe they were designer bags- very Ralph Lauren- Brilliant job xx

[@KatieMakesStuff]

Maybe it's the touch of leather that gives it the vibe? Regardless, I just love them!

[@sharontrujillo]
