Glitter fabric is one of the most versatile materials on the market when it comes to DIY projects. The current pandemic has meant that more and more people are spending time at home and parents across the world are at their wits’ end trying to find new and creative ways to keep their children occupied within the confines of their homes. Glitter fabric is an easy solution as it is easy to work with, doesn’t mess like ordinary glitter does but still has all the same sparkly goodness that glitter is known for. There are several ways that you can keep children, especially teenagers, occupied with glitter crafts in the comfort of your own home, without having to worry about getting glitter all over the living room carpet.

Glitter fabric is generally sold in either roll like ordinary fabric or in sheets that can range in size from A5 to A2. It is available in various colours, which makes it perfect for creative projects like scrapbooking or jewellery-making. Teenagers especially will enjoy trying their hand at crafting fashionable accessories like tote bags or clutches with glitter fabric as it is easy to work with and ...
... looks beautiful when done.

Gold is currently all the rage, and it is well-suited to making fashionable accessories. A gold tote bag will look wonderful on the beach come summer and a gold clutch has always been a must-have item for a glitzy night out. Teenagers will enjoy making clutches and totes in their style with glitter fabric as they will enjoy the process of actually making the item and then get to put it to good use afterwards while showing off their handiwork.

It is very simple to craft a tote bag out of glitter fabric. All you will need is chunky glitter fabric, enough to construct a tote bag of the size of your choice. The reason why it is best to choose chunky glitter fabric for these types of crafts is that chunky glitter fabric usually has a thick material backing that will help you when you’re trying to construct fashionable accessories. You will also need a thread in a colour matching that of your glitter fabric, a needle or sewing machine, and either enough glitter fabric to also make the straps of your tote bag or other material for these straps. If you want, you can also get thin material in a complementary colour to your glitter fabric to use as a liner, but since tote bags generally are thin and only made with one layer of material, this is optional. To make your tote bag, simply cut out the front and back of your tote bag in the material in the size and shape that you want, sew the edges except for the top, and then attach your handles. You can either sew your handles directly into the interior of your bag, or you can first sew the handles and then cover their inserts with the liner of the bag if you are using a liner. This is a fun and simple craft to do with your teenagers. It doesn’t require a lot of experience with needlework or sewing but will be easier if you already have some experience. Remember that this is supposed to be a fun craft and not a designer piece, so allow your children to have fun with it and make the bag the way that they want. It is a simple and affordable way to keep your children occupied constructively in the comfort of your own home.

Glitter fabric has a lot of uses and because it is so easy to cut and so easy to work with, it is ideal for at-home sewing projects.
