🧵 The bag base

The 18x5 cm bag base with feet is the ideal foundation for creating small to medium-sized handmade bags. Made of 3mm rigid faux leather, it provides the necessary structure to keep the bag's shape over time, protecting the contents and ensuring stability during daily use. The 4 included metal feet lift the bag off the ground, protecting the bottom from wear and scratches.

The 18x5 cm format is perfect for structured pouches, medium shoulder bags, and fashion accessories. The 3mm perimeter holes allow you to easily sew the bag body using ribbon yarn, cord, or thread, making this base compatible with any creative technique: crochet, macramé, sewing, or hot glue assembly.

🧬 Material and structure: why it works

Faux leather is a durable synthetic material that mimics the look of natural leather, with a smooth and uniform surface. The 3mm thickness ensures sufficient rigidity to support the weight of the bag without deforming, keeping the base flat and stable even after months of use. The internal non-woven fabric reinforcement (bonded leather) increases tensile strength and prevents tearing along the holes.

The metal feet are fixed to the corners of the base and lift the bag about 5-8mm off the ground. This detail protects the faux leather from moisture, scratches, and contact wear, extending the life of the bag. The feet come in a gold or silver finish (depending on the chosen variant) and add a professional touch to your final creation.

📦 Format and practical use

The 18x5 cm format is ideal for compact bags: evening pouches, medium shoulder bags, and handmade handbags for daily use. With this base, you can make a complete bag using about 200-300 grams of ribbon yarn or cord, depending on the desired height. The perimeter holes are regularly spaced, facilitating crochet work or hand sewing.

Practical tip: if you crochet, use a 4-5mm hook to pass through the 3mm holes easily. If hand sewing, use a wool needle with a rounded tip. For ribbon yarn projects, choose a maximum width of 8-10mm to avoid overlap in the holes. Always purchase bases from the same color batch if you are making multiple matching bags.

🧶 Recommended crafting

The bag base with feet is compatible with a 4-5mm crochet hook, ideal for working with ribbon yarn, cord, or thick thread. The 3mm holes allow the hook to pass through without force, keeping the base structure intact. If you are knitting, you can sew the bag body directly onto the holes using a wool needle. For macramé projects, use 3-5mm cord and knot directly into the holes.

Alternative technique: if you prefer to assemble the bag with hot glue, apply the glue along the inner perimeter of the base and press the bag body for 30 seconds. Reinforce with a hand-stitched seam along the edges for greater security. The feet are pre-installed and require no additional assembly.

✨ Why choose this bag base

Compared to cardboard or felt bases, 3mm rigid faux leather offers superior resistance to moisture and impact. It does not deform under weight, does not fold, and maintains its original shape even after years of use. The included feet eliminate the need to purchase and install separate accessories, saving time and guaranteeing a professional result right away.

In daily practice, this base allows you to place the bag on any surface without worrying about stains or scratches. The rigid base distributes weight evenly, preventing the bag's contents from pressing on the bottom and damaging it. The result is a handmade bag that lasts over time and maintains a polished look.

🎨 What you can create

The 18x5 cm base is perfect for structured pouches, medium shoulder bags, evening bags, and handmade fashion accessories. You can crochet it with ribbon yarn, sew it with fabric, assemble it with macramé, or combine multiple techniques for a unique effect.

👩‍🎨 Who is it for

This bag base is suitable for both beginners and experts. The pre-punched holes simplify the work, eliminating the need to punch the material manually. The included feet avoid complex technical steps, making the project accessible even to those making their first handmade bag.

Typically purchased by hobbyists who crochet with ribbon yarn, artisans who sell handmade bags on marketplaces, and macramé enthusiasts looking for rigid bases for structured projects. Also ideal for creative sewing courses and DIY bag workshops.
