transforming a fake chanel handbag

well i got this hand bag like 3 weeks ago from my cousins wife as a present when they came to visit us and she got me this fake chanel handbag now let me tell you about the fake things in my country they are exactly the same as the original they don't change any thing from the original brand name its just the same and so much cheaper of course and i personal hate fake things why would i wanna buy a fake hand bag aaaaa i really hated this handbag and i was too close from give in it away to somebody else that doesn't care about the fake part and then i wanted to try to change it which is something i do since i was a little girl i was always changing the things that i had so some one else wont have the same thing as i do and i still do that so i decided to give the fake handbag a try hope i inspire you to be creative and see the things from another angle i personal imagine the thing in my head and i usually know exactly or kinda close from how its gonna turn into so lets get started

                                                             

here is the before

the first thing  i did was that i removed the chain and the "chanel" symbol or logo what is that called any ways i just removed it

then i took off a piece of the chain then i split them of each other just like in the picture below

then on the little closer opening i added a one ring but make sure that you are placing both of the sides in and out between the chain piece and use this plies tool to tighten it but don't do it now OH i made the mistake for you trust you don't wanna tighten any thing because things gonna be moving and the leather gonna come out of the ring and it will take you for ever to open back the ring just like it did with me so Yeah i am talking like every one has the same bag that i have and gonna do the same thing i did with it LOL any ways lets continue

now place them one by one and make sure that both of the side are between the ring and keep on doing that

all this will take you half an hour that's how it took me so yeah and after you are done and satisfied with it then began to tighten them

And at first i placed the rest of the chain this way the style is unique and not available in the stores I've never seen any thing like it in my city but its available in other countries i am sure

I just wanna say that the other side i didn't leave it without any thing because there are tow openings for the original chain so i placed a little chain to make it look nicer

and then i began to hold it walk with it look at the look in the mirror and i wasn't sure about it to be honest it wasn't so functional for me personally 

so i added an extensional chain to it because it got shorter than it was because i took too many rings for the closure area so i believe that you can buy a chain or have it from something you don't use any more that has a chain having an extra chain is an easy thing i believe

And here is the final result yaaay i really love the way it turned out i went out with my friends the other day and they all asked me from where i got it so that's always a good sign that you have a special unique beautiful piece which i love to have

Here its hanging on my vintage closet 

all i wanna say is that you just have to be creative open your mind because every single person has a vision and that's what makes you different i always try to change the stuff that i have or i buy cheap stuff and change them to something beautiful and unique that people will thing i spent allot of money on while i didn't

always be creative and enjoy your creations
