What could be a better style hack than a DIY? You may consider painting your bag to give it a fresh look and make it look appealing. However, you must refrain yourself from painting the entire edges and corners of your bag. Instead, you must consider painting only one side or section of your bag to make it look amazing. Besides this, you must also consider painting thin layers and coats of paint. You should avoid painting the flaps of your bag or the straps as these parts of your bag are constantly moving. It is likely that if you will paint these sections the paint will chip off easily. Therefore, you must keep these basics in mind while painting your bag.
