Grab a paper bag, a marker, and about a foot and a half of chain, and you can recreate this look in ten minutes or less. I bet it would look good with a smaller lunch-size brown bag too. *The project is from Design Shimmer. And I’d take this diy bag over a real Chanel bag any day. But then again, I am not much of a designer gal myself.
What do you think? Would you rock one of these “designer” bags?

Good question. Scotch-Guard might work for weather proofing?

So clever and hilarious! thanks for sharing!
Sarah Storm commented on January 30th, 2011 at 5:35 pmYou could always cover the paper bag in clear contact paper to weather proof it
I think this is super fun. Must try someday when I’m bored…

Oh, good idea Lindsay. I bet contact paper would work well.
