I drilled holes into my 1941 Space crossbody pouch strap so it can now be used 6 ways :) Including the highly controversial BELT BAG :panic::nuts: I thought this was a fun thing to share, in case anyone else wanted to try it in any of their small bags! All you need is a small bag with a removable & buckled crossbody strap, an electric drill, and maybe someone to help you by holding the strap steady while you drill.

1/2) Clutch/pouch. I use it most often as a pouch in my other bags.
3) Wristlet
4) Shoulder…still thinking of adding more holes to make this shorter.
5) Crossbody, which I had to shorten because the crossbody pouch strap is LONG!
6) Belt bag! I've kinda been interested in the recent trend, but rather than buying something new I thought it would be fun to re-purpose something I've been almost solely using one way into something new!

With the new shorter strap and belt bag option I find my bag even more usable for me :)
