Easy DIY Raffia Bag Tutorial with Sensy Softee Raffia Yarn

Today, I’m showing you how to make a super easy and stylish raffia bag using Sensy’s Softee Raffia yarn. This method is simple, beginner-friendly, and creates a chic, textured finish — all from one single piece!

What You’ll Need

• Sensy Softee Raffia Yarn – Dark Copper and Black

• Sensy Metallic Twisted Thread – for decorative stitching

• Crochet hook or yarn needle

• Scissors

Start the Base Piece

Begin by crocheting your base using Sensy Softee Raffia yarn.
Work one row inserting your hook into the back loops only, then another row into the front loops.

🔸 This alternating loop method creates a subtle ribbed texture and gives your bag structure.

Add the Black Stripe

Once your base piece reaches your desired size, switch to black yarn and crochet a few rows to form a bold stripe across your bag.

This adds a nice contrast and gives your design a modern look.

Add Metallic Detailing

Next, take Sensy’s Metallic Copper thread and start sewing thin lines over the black stripe.

Use the points you just made as guides — these metallic lines will add shimmer and texture.

Form the Base Shape

When sewing from the marked points, your piece will naturally start to fold into a bag shape.

This clever construction means no complicated shaping — just simple stitching to bring your design together!

Final Row and Finishing Touches

Finish off by working one final row with your black yarn around the top edge of your bag.

This frames your design beautifully and adds a clean, professional finish.

👜 The Final Look

And that’s it! You now have a gorgeous handmade raffia bag with copper tones, metallic highlights, and a clean modern stripe. Perfect for summer days or as a handmade gift!

Tips

• Try mixing different metallic threads for a custom look.

• Adjust the size by simply making your starting piece longer or shorter.
