DIY Baby Pink Raffia Bag – Step-by-Step Tutorial

Looking for a fun, stylish, and beginner-friendly bag project? Today, I'm sharing how I created this adorable baby pink purse using Sensy's Softee Raffia yarn. It’s light, summery, and perfect for a handmade statement piece. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just picking up your crochet hook, this is a satisfying project you’ll love!

🧵 Materials You'll Need:

• Sensy's Softee Raffia yarn in baby pink

• Sensy's bag canvas (optional, for extra structure)

• Crochet hook suited for raffia (typically around 4.5–5.5 mm)

• Yarn needle

• Scissors

• Sensy's bag chain

• Pom-pom maker or cardboard ring (for the mini pom-poms)

Step 1: Crochet in Straight Rows

Start by crocheting straight rows using your Softee Raffia yarn. The size of the bag depends on your preference, but for a small purse, you can crochet a rectangular panel approximately 20 cm x 30 cm.

👉 Tip: Keep your stitches firm but not too tight, since raffia can be a bit stiff to work with.

Step 2: Add Structure with Sensy's Bag Canvas

Once your panel is ready, you can place Sensy's bag canvas inside the crochet piece. This canvas provides a nice, sturdy shape and helps the bag hold its form over time.

If you're skipping the canvas, you can still continue and shape your bag by folding and sewing neatly.

Step 3: Fold and Sew the Edges

Fold the crocheted panel into a bag shape. You can fold it in half for a simple clutch style or leave a flap for a mini tote. Use your yarn needle and the same Raffia yarn to sew up the sides securely.

Step 4: Create Mini Pom-Poms

Now for the fun part—decorating! Using the same Softee Raffia yarn, create a few mini pom-poms. You can use a small pom-pom maker, or wrap the yarn around a piece of cardboard or two fingers, tie it in the middle, then trim and fluff.

Attach your pom-poms to the bag for a playful, charming touch.

Step 5: Attach the Bag Chain

To finish the look, add Sensy’s bag chain to your bag. You can sew it in securely on the sides or attach it with small D-rings if your design allows.

And You're Done! ✨

Your baby pink raffia purse is now ready to show off. It’s light, cute, and perfect for sunny days. Whether you keep it for yourself or gift it to a friend, it’s a charming accessory made with love.
