Crochet Cross Body Bag

Create this beautiful crochet cross body bag!

This bag has it all! Texture, floral and button detail and cute straps that can be interchanged. Very versatile and works up in 1 piece!

I love collecting buttons and using them in my projects. The buttons really add great detail to the bag and make it unique.

I usually find mine at thrift stores or even on the garments themselves then take them off when I get home!

The purse straps I find the same way, just make sure that they have clips at the end to attach to your bag. I used D rings for the sides that can be easily sewn on then the straps click onto them.

They can be purchased here:

 

I think they make the bag look more professional as well as the strap. You can also interchange the straps which is fun too!
