Materials Needed 🧵
Here are the materials I used to make this crochet tweed bag:
🌸 Yarn & Sequins
I used a weight 3 acrylic yarn for the body to create that structured tweed look. Instead of pre-made sequin yarn, I used loose sequins pre-threaded onto fine sewing thread so I could control the sparkle!
1. Yarn: https://link.amazon/B0esF7IYd
2. Loose Sequins: https://link.amazon/B04XXPLi9
3. Sewing Thread (for threading sequins)
🪝 Crochet Hook
Use a 4 mm crochet hook (or the size recommended for your chosen yarn).

Metal Chain Strap: reused a metal chain strap from an old bag to give it an instant dressy, party-bag look! You can also buy replacement chain straps online or crochet your own soft strap.
