How To Make Your Canvas Luggage Look More Stylish

The cute and stylish luggage sets in the market might cost an arm and a leg. If you are on a tight budget and you are reserving your money for your trip, you would want to buy a sensible and inexpensive luggage set.

However, if you want to travel in style, you can still do so without spending a lot of money. Buy a durable canvas luggage in the color you want. Simple bags are better. This will give you a blank canvas to work on. This way, you can design it to make it look cute, stylish and unique.

Here are a couple of design ideas:

1. Stencil it!

Bag stencils are quite popular today. You can try copying a design from the internet. Print out the design you want using an iron-on paper. You can iron out the design on the bag and it will transfer to the bag. If you are feeling creative, you can print out a black and white design. Use acrylic paint to give it a little color. You can try using the design on one side of the bag only.

2. Use laces and ribbons to adorn your bag

Ribbons are best used as luggage tags. You can pick out a nice-colored ribbon and use it to attach your luggage identification tag. Make sure you tie it securely to the bag.

Laces can be used as bag trimmings. Sew it on the edges of the luggage as an accent. You can also use fabric glue if you don't like to sew. This will immediately give it a unique and stylish appearance. Many people use lace as an accent to bags and clothes these days.

3. Make front pockets using extra fabrics

If you have an extra fabric with you that will look good with your bag, you can use them to make extra front pockets for your bag. Cut the fabric in the shape of the pocket you want and use a strong glue to attach it to the front of the bag. You can also sew it using big threads with a different color. The threads will look like additional adornment to the pockets.

4. Try making sleeves for the retractable handles

The metal handles can look ugly. If you are aiming for a simple and stylish design, try focusing the design on the retractable handles. Make detachable sleeves using a fabric that will complement the color of your canvas luggage.
