RE: Making a Purse Out of a Gift Bag By Janet (Guest Post) Maybe try lining it thoroughly with duct tape from top to bottom.

Unless you carry around very little stuff, I am afraid the bag won't last long - but if you are careful, maybe thru the summer!

Clear contact paper or even heavyweight clear packing tape would help immensely. I would also second changing the handles or reinforcing them. That would be the weakest point of the bag. I would also add a small bit of cardboard or chipboard to the bottom of the bag for reinforcement down there. It will also help just in case something leaks.

If you can reinforce the area where the handles attach - inside and out - it will hold up better to your stuff. Posted on 06/19/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
