A structured bag juxtaposed with a playful, acrylic or resin chain caught my eye towards the end of last year, and is something I think will be around for 2019 (a drool-worthy splurge seen here). Getting a bag just for the chain seems a bit nonsensical, and that's because it is. Fortunately, whipping up a quick DIY resin handbag chain is so simple and much more reasonable than getting the whole bag. There's a million different directions you could go with creating one, and could even buy just a chain if making one yourself seems too time consuming.
You'll of course want a bag that has a loop where you can attach a chain. Next, depending on the color of the bag, you'll want to pick the chain color. I had a silver bag and went with a tortoiseshell patterned chain. Although I bought all my materials from Michaels and Amazon, Etsy has a lot of great options.
Use plier to hook on a jump ring on each end of the chain. You'll then attach a lobster clasp to each of the jump rings before closing the rings. That's literally it.
Hook your DIY resin handbag chain onto your bag and you're donezo!
