You can knock the basic methods of attachment.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTYoP4Zu8I/AAAAAAAAAro/aCJVtKPeTE8/s1600-h/0-04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTYoP4Zu8I/AAAAAAAAAro/aCJVtKPeTE8/s400/0-04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194014456234490818" border="0" /></a><br />And fitted with a new shoulder strap, the dainty mini shopper has been transformed into a more slouchy shoulder bag.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTYof4Zu9I/AAAAAAAAArw/CljDvezOcwE/s1600-h/0-05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTYof4Zu9I/AAAAAAAAArw/CljDvezOcwE/s400/0-05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194014460529458130" border="0" /></a><br />The black cotton canvas shoulder strap is complimented by the wide black painted band. A bit of fabric pain and an old cloth can do wonders to a tired old bag.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTW9P4Zu5I/AAAAAAAAArQ/2ei0xpyRWII/s1600-h/0-01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gDJw4VbiagA/SBTW9P4Zu5I/AAAAAAAAArQ/2ei0xpyRWII/s400/0-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194012617988488082" border="0" /></a><br />The aim was to take the fake Gucci and give it an over the top tongue in cheek make over to result in a new urban kitsch creation. I'm not saying its the best looking bag around, i'm not saying that its original or new.<br /><br />But i am trying to say that with a sense of humour, a sunday afternoon, a box of odds and ends and a trip to oxfam, you can create something and save some space in the landfill at the same time.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3636646275267222035-1955585751812135639?l=oldbag-newbag.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sticky Jacquihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14836244044364926658noreply@blogger.com
