Handbag Ideas

March 09, 2025

I have made a few handbags with raw fleece. They were really hit or miss. Thought it was time I did a bit a research on how other artists construct their handbags.

I loved this bag, so clean and simple with the leather trim. She uses wool batts. I love that!

This woman used a dimensional resist for her handbag.

This video is a great explanation of adding wool as embellishments, and cutting the felt to shape before its done.

She also mentioned that you can sew the prefelted bag together and then continue felting so you get the continuous fabric desired in felted pieces. I like that.

If you haven't seen what Craftsy teaches yet, join ... it's only $2.49 (or less sometimes)!
