Men's pants into Messenger Bag

[ExpiredSanity]

I went to the Salvation Army last weekend and picked up some men's pants for 6 bucks and made them into this messenger bag:

It's smaller then I wanted (10x14) but I'm still extremely happy with how it turned out. I'm going to bead the strings coming off the shoulder strap once I find some beads I like.
A tutorial with pictures for how I made this can be found here. (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/goonies_messenger_bag)

Nice touch with the closure!

[lucasfan123]

the fact that they were pant blows me away!

[ExpiredSanity]

I'm glad you all like the closure so much, I was worried it would make the fact that they used to be pants obvious.

I don't know why but bags in this color green make me want to take them on an Adventure.

That being said your's looks well made enough to handle an Adventure or 5.

Excellent work. <33
