When H&M asked us to DIY a boho-inspired item for their summer issue, découpage was the first thing that came to mind. Honestly, does it get any better than customizing a simple handbag with a brilliant floral print? However you create it, it’ll be satisfying to know that you’ve designed yourself a one of a kind bag!
You’ll need:
- a handbag
- cotton fabric with a large floral pattern
- painter’s tape
- Mod Podge
- craft paint
- 2 small plastic dishes
- 2 brushes
- scissors
Start by taping off the edges and hardware of the handbag.
Squeeze a dollop of colored craft paint into a small disposable container. Apply a layer of paint to the desired section.
Allow the first layer to dry completely. Apply another coat or two.
While the paint dries, carefully cut out a handful of flowers from the fabric.
Arrange them onto the painted section of the bag. Glue the flowers on with Mod Podge and seal them by applying another layer on top.

Wow!! I really really like this idea, i have a similar bag from H&M from last season that I would maybe use for this DiY
This is such a great idea! It really makes the bag so much different and it looks great! and, the bonus is that this DIY is so simple to follow and do! 🙂
Fantastic way to renew a bag!!!

Love this sooo much!!! Have to try it! But I can’t seem to find the bag in h&m 🙁
I had a feeling Mod Podge was used in the making but I never would have guessed you used paint on it as well. Did the paint started chipping and cracking?
@AvesGry, I used Martha Stewart craft paint, which DOES NOT crack or chip. I would definitely recommend it. Hope that helps! xx
Really cool DIY–love it!! xx

Come visit my blog! Katharsiskulture.com
Really great way to jazz up a bag. Where did you get the gorgeous fabric?
Now I understand it, when I saw this bag I didn’t surely know how you had made it., I thought you had simply glued the cloth, and it had resulted perfectly. But it was much simpler. It’s a great idea.
Kisses.
That’s seriously cute and so easy to follow! Thanks for the great tip! xoxo

This doesn’t even look like a DIY project, it looks like a bag right off a high end fashion designers collection, or a bag sold at H&M itself! Great job! I’ve seen brown satchels everywhere, but making it your own is a good thing to do, and I definitely want to try this out! All I need is some pretty fabric!
M.
Love how you transformed this awsome bag! I really want this brown bag, do you know if I can still get it? Thanks!!!

WHERE DID YOU GET THE BROWN BAG?!?!
We made bags like this over the weekend! It was awesome and they turned out great. I did my own twist on the project and made everything from recycled materials. I got a bag in good shape from Goodwill, and bought a secondhand shirt to use for the fabric. Awesome bag for ~$15 in materials! Love it!
Thank you so much for all your fantastic DIY ideas….made a bag over the weekend http://www.flickr.com/photos/75162042@N08/7405058156/

This handbag is amazing, with and without your DIY! Wish had some H&M store here in Brazil. 🙁
This is so wonderfully cute and creative! Like Mimi, I am also wondering how this would work on a canvas bag. I think it would be really cute on a tote. Would fabric paint be better to use on canvas? And I don’t work with mod podge much, does it do well on fabric?
Thanks so much!
Hi. I absolutely love that fabric. Can you tell me where you found it or what the name of the fabric is called? Thanks!

Did anyone find a bag like this one? I’ve been trawling through the internet in search of a bag as nice as this one but have had no success yet 🙁 Have come close, but this one is the perfect size, a great colour and looks nice plain too.
is it okay if i didn’t put modpodge on the paint layer before i put the floral design on?
I simply placed the design on the painted bag & modpodged on top of everything.
Great idea for creatively thinking – that’s also can help if you want to repair some damaged part of you bag…
Massive mod podge fan! Amazing bag 🙂

You could use leather dye if the bag is leather. It does not crack or peel.

Hey what a good idea! perfect match for my beautiful pastel tops. I just love colorful accessories.
This seems like a good idea executed horribly. It took a really nice looking, classic leather handbag and made it kitschy by slathering it with craft paint and gluing on awkward fabric cutouts.
looks great!Thanks for sharing.
