Do It Yourself (DIY) fashion hacks are in trend these days, and an excellent step towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Apart from reducing your environmental impact, DIY sustainable fashion is also a fun way to express your creativity. One such content creator leading the way is Shweta Mahadik, who often goes viral for her outstanding and innovative DIY creations. Recently, Ms Mahadik turned a Parle-G biscuit wrapper into a chic sling bag, leaving the internet impressed.
She shared a video of the entire process on Instagram and mentioned that she took inspiration from luxury brand Balenciaga’s Lay’s bag. The video starts to show her cutting an empty packet of Parle-G. She then places the wrapper between two transparent plastic sheets and secures them with a black thread on a sewing machine. Further, she attaches a red-coloured cloth and a chain to the bag’s border. After her bag is ready, she poses with it, showcasing her creativity.
”I love quirky stuff!” reads the caption written alongside the video shared on Instagram.
‘Eat the biscuit and create quirky fashion,” reads the text inserted in the video.
