How to Repair a Ripped Lunch Bag Handle

Are you tired of dealing with a ripped lunch bag handle? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to repair a ripped lunch bag handle using a few simple steps and some basic materials.

Colored thread to match the color of the lunch bag and a needle

First, you’ll need to gather some colored thread that matches the color of your lunch bag. You’ll also need a needle. Make sure the thread is 3 to 4 times the length of the part that needs to be sewn.

Measure 18 inches of thread and double it

Measure 18 inches of thread and double it. Cut the thread to match the length of the ruler. Loop one end of the thread through the needle. Wet the end of the thread if needed to make it easier to thread.

Move the needle to the middle of the thread to have even amounts of thread on each side

Move the needle to the middle of the thread to have even amounts of thread on each side. Tie a knot at the end of the string and repeat 3x. Try to place all knots in the same place. This will make the knot larger, so the thread stays in place on the lunchbox and does not pull through.

Thread the needle through the lunchbox and handle

Thread the needle through the lunchbox and handle. Pull all the way through, until the knot stops. Start on the inside, so the knot is not visible at the end. Stick the needle the opposite direction, about a ¼” away from the first stitch. Leave room between your first and second stitch.

Continue to stitch every other space, until you have sewed the handle back in place

Continue to stitch every other space, until you have sewed the handle back in place. To end the last stitch, thread the needle between the lunchbox and thread of your last stitch. Rather than pulling the thread completely through, thread the needle back through the excess thread to make a knot.

Trim the excess thread as short as possible to make the stitches look clean and to avoid snagging

Trim the excess thread as short as possible to make the stitches look clean and to avoid snagging. Your bag should now be good as new!
