DIY Camera Bag Tutorials – From Old Purse to New Camera Bag!

How many of you want a super cute camera bag?  How many of you have purchased a fancy camera tote or bag, you know the nice feminine ones that look like super cute purses?  They are so amazing…but I’m going to be honest with you.  I can’t afford one!  See I have an allowance and even though it’s fairly decent…I like to shop and can’t see spending my whole allowance on one bag.  So I have been on the hunt for the past couple months for the right bag to do a little camera bag DIY to.  Goodwill has given me nothing to work with…well unless I want a lime green or obnoxious looking purse…which I do not!  And then all of the sudden last night I totally remembered I have this bag!

It’s the perfect size bag to turn into a camera bag.  I don’t use it anymore and it’s in fantastic shape.  Has pockets, etc… And even though it’s not a super fun color on the outside like some of the cute camera totes you can buy, it’s black and will always look cute.  Plus the inside is a crazy pop of fabric to make me happy when I peak inside.  And it’s perfect until I find something better to make another one!  So this will be one of my projects.  Turn this beauty into an awesome camera tote.  I’m so excited.

Tips for finding that perfect purse to
convert into a camera bag:
*  Purse must have a nice flat bottom
*  It’s nice if it has at least a couple pockets on the outside for extra stuff
*  Be sure the straps are long enough for you to comfortably carry it around

Here are some really great tutorials and
cute bags other bloggers have made.

but the bags all have a different look}
