The process was pretty straight forward once you laid out the different parts and followed the step by step tutorial, I made the whole thing in full in less than an hour. The only thing I will say is I was a little skeptical about the bag being held by just a screw in rivet BUT to combat my fear I put touches of pva on any ends that were chamfered. I have also decided to take a mini screw driver with me in the bag (it can fit a whole drill in!) it’s much bigger than I thought but that doesn’t bother me as like I said super spacious! - it’s not hard to follow instructions and the pieces go together without too much force. One more thing after completion I did have one larger screw rivet left and cannot for the life of me figure out where it’s for! But since I can’t find where it’s missing and have worn it out 3 times now without any issues I figured it’s fine.
I decorated it with extra brass rivets to really make it authentic to me.

I really enjoyed spending the afternoon creating my new bucket bag! The video was easy to follow, and it was a great way to try something new! No experience or special tools required.

I spent a lovely evening following Esther's instruction video putting together a belt bag as a gift. It turned out great and went down really well 🙂

I love my new bag! The leather is beautiful quality. And the video to make it was so clear and easy to follow. My husband did my rivets for me so now I have a bag that my husband and I made together. No one can believe I made it from a kit! Just gorgeous.

I’m really thrilled with the way my bucket bag turned out. Beautiful quality leather! And easy to follow instructions. It’s wrapped and under the Xmas tree - I can’t wait to open it 😂
