Repurpose Your Designer Brand Store Bags With TikTok's Stylish Home Decor Trick

What do you do with your designer store bags once you reach home and place your new purchases in their rightful places? If you're anything like us, you probably deflate the bags and store them in a drawer in your closet (or under a big pile of clothes) and forget all about them. Maybe you even throw out a few while decluttering your wardrobe. But instead of endlessly piling your Tiffany, Dior, and Chanel shopping bags in a stuffy drawer or needlessly disposing of them, draw some inspiration from TikTok and turn your designer brand store bags into a stunning floral arrangement holder instead.

All you'll need to pull off this home décor trick are a few fresh cut flowers and a designer store bag in tip-top shape, meaning there should be no wrinkles or pressed lines in sight. Wondering how to keep your bouquet standing straight so all your effort doesn't go to waste? You'll also need a flower vase that's big enough for the bag. For instance, if the bag is taller than it's wide, you'll need a slender vase and vice versa. 

Remember, the vase shouldn't be taller than the designer store bag or it'll peek out from its confines, effectively ruining your eye-catching new home décor piece. However, don't shy away from using your old or slightly less glamorous vases since they won't be visible to the naked eye anyway. Another important tip is to choose the perfect flowers for every size vase to make the floral arrangement pop and garner attention.

Once you have the supplies, simply fill your chosen vase with water and place it inside the shopping bag. Be careful to avoid spillage, or you risk damaging the bag's structural integrity. Additionally, ensure that the vase is completely dry, not sporting a few rogue water droplets. In case you're using a large bag, it'll be quite challenging to transport it once you insert the water-filled vase. So, ensure you move the bag to the desired location prior to adding the vase. The final step is to arrange some fresh cut flowers inside the vase. Ensure there are no bald spots and the florals look as though they are artfully tumbling out.

However, if this seems like too much of a hassle, replace fresh cut flowers with faux blooms instead. If you're worried about their waxy look, simply invest in high-quality fake flowers. This game-changing trick will make artificial flowers look so real and add life to your floral arrangement. Plus, you won't have to replace the flowers every few days and can do away with the water-filled vase(s) since you'll only need a few blocks of floral foam to keep the blooms secure. Change the flowers seasonally to update your home décor, or select colors that complement the bag. To really sell the look, masterfully tie a designer ribbon (or two) around the flower's stems and let it peek a little out the top.
