How to Add a Side Strap to a Bag or Pouch

In this tutorial, I will show you how to add a side strap to a bag or pouch. In the demonstration, I used a d-ring and a swivel clip that were each 3/4" wide, although you can use other sizes or other types of hardware (such as a triangle ring or rectangle ring).

Thank you for demo. It was clear and straight forward. Back to finishing my first bag...

How can I attach the rivet to the handbag which is denim? I wish I knew someone who could do this. I'm clueless. Thank you

[@johannevinet5083]

This bag is great looking. I love the choice of fabrics. At which step of the bag sewing construction do you recommend adding the D ring to the bag?

[@soupstorm8999]

where did you get that amazing cork-like fabric on the bag

[@strayviolets]

Thanks !!

Hi,
How do you replace or bend open a D-ring that is already in fixed to the bag?

Como faço para obter o projeto inteiro da bolsa? Tem em vídeo?

[@marilynboydadipasquale8358]

When does one add the strap in the process of creating the bag? Thank you.

[@rgrover2145]

I think you have to ad it when you are at the end of the bag, like right before you finish it

[@faviolaortiz8831]

Where do you get the hardware?

[@37debbiek]

Do you have to have special equipment for the rivets? If so, is it expensive?

Debbie K She has a video about rivets and the rivet press in the CZcams channel.

[@soniaguzman762]

If you buy a small rivet set from Amazon, it includes the rivet press for those sizes. That way it's less expensive. Using Chicago screws which you can use instead of rivets are even less expensive because they don't need a press or anything.

Sonia Guzman Thank you

How do you attach the D-Ring strap, if your bag hasn’t side panels, but seams on it‘s side? I think a rivet pushed through the seam might also unravel the whole seam.
Any ideas?

[@bronwyncarr6714]

The Metro double-zip pouch from minikins season 2 has a wristlet strap and no side panels. I just sewed it into the seam.

@@bronwyncarr6714 thx for your answer 👍🏼

[@lindascraftsandthings915]

​@@bronwyncarr6714but what if the bag is already sewn? How do you add D rings to already sewn bags/purses/pouches?
