Wonder Woman bag!!!!

Hi guys,

Sorry for the HUGE gap yet again. 

Naughty blogger!!!!

I have been extremely busy with upcycles and projects (and real life!)

I find busy hands means a busy mind and it's been a pretty welcome diversion, let me tell ya!!!!

Anyhoo, I'm skulking back to share my WONDERful project with y'all. 

I'm not exaggerating, it's MARVELlous!!!!

I really dig Wonder Woman and wanted a bag but no way did I want a pricey high street bag that just ANYONE can buy. 

Oh no. 

I wanted a bespoke bag that only I can have (erm, I know, I know. Why am I sharing the How To on here then?!)

I decided to make a funky 70s style bag. 

As any reader of my blog knows, I ADORE granny squares. I also like harlequin stuff too so combined all these loves into a wooly sensation. 

All you need are 17 crochet squares arranged in diamond formation of 2,3,2,3,2,3,2. 

Simples. 

I chose red and blue and then started to do a border in gold like so:

Then use the same gold thread to join them up thus:

(I apologise for the colours, artificial lighting sucks!)

I wanted 4 funky gold rings to use to attach the straps (which I also crocheted in gold wool). 

I bought a bag from a charity shop for £1 which had the perfect rings ;)

In no time at all, they were adorning my WW bag:

It needed a bit more 'pizzazz' so I recycled an old gold damask curtain for the lining and ironed on a WW logo for £1 delivered online:

(I bet you recognise that fabric from so many of my previous posts!!)

Then the final addition was an embroidered logo that I got for a couple of quid online. 

It's a corker of a badge:

I used wonderweb to attach it, lol. 

Oh the irony!!!! 

And there we have it:

Isn't it just the funkiest bag EVER!!!!!!!

Hope it's inspired some of you to grab the hook and make something AMAZEBALLS!

Happy hooking x x x
