added a purple ribbon on my daydreamer bag
If you wanna change the ribbon on your daydreamer bag you need at least two yards of ribbon btw! 😭 and follow the in-out pattern that the original strap uses because if not, the ribbon will cover the snap on the inside (I’m too lazy to rethread it, but yeah)
Word of advice though, support your local fabric store, not Michael’s because why did Michael’s charge me $6 for a yard and a half of ribbon 🫠 like what the heck
When I decided to refresh my Daydreamer bag with a new purple ribbon, I quickly learned that preparation and the right materials make all the difference. Using at least two yards of ribbon is crucial—not only to ensure you have enough length but also to follow the original in-and-out threading pattern. This pattern helps keep the ribbon from overlapping or covering the snap inside, which can be a big hassle if not done correctly. From personal experience, I recommend avoiding big craft chains like Michael’s, where ribbon prices can be unexpectedly high. Instead, support your local fabric store; they usually offer better prices and a wider selection of quality ribbons. Plus, shopping local supports small businesses which is a win-win! Taking the time to thread the ribbon carefully also means you won’t have to redo it later. If you’re lazy like me, this saves you a lot of frustration. I found it helpful to watch some DIY videos online that show the exact threading technique for Daydreamer bags. After completing the swap, my bag not only looked refreshed but also felt more personalized with the pop of purple. Overall, this simple DIY upgrade is a fun way to keep your favorite bag looking fresh and stylish while adding your own creative touch. Whether you’re gifting this as a project or just updating your own accessory, the effort definitely pays off with a unique result.
