In this video, I will demonstrate how to make just about any bag into a backpack by adding adjustable straps!

You will need these materials to make the backpack straps:

Cut from Fabric and Pellon Shape Flex interfacing:
(2) 4″ x 4″
(2) Width of fabric x 4″
Optional: Loop, 12″ x 4″

(2) 1″ rectangles
(2) 1″ sliders

    Do you put interfacing on the fabric for the strap so it’s stronger?

      Hi Laura, if you are using quilting cotton or something similar, please first interface it with Pellon Shape Flex. Thank you!
