This is a really cute way to bring a fashionable handbag back to life when you've finished using it. It's very fun and exciting for me to make new things out of old things. I hope you like it and try it out for yourself!

Take your old Marc Jacobs tote and Carefully rip the seams. It's a little time consuming. Make sure you have a sturdy ripper.. These threads are the toughest I've ever dealt with.

When you removed the seams you will end up with two different kinds of fabric to work with. I kept the Lamé fabric for a seperate bow.

Assemble the bows from large 8 inch rectangles, You can use any type of filler to give it height. I used poly filler for my bow. It's kinda like a cute bow pillow.

The Lamé side of the fabric is done the same way!
