Bhubaneswar, Dec  19: In a world where sustainability meets style, the trend of DIY fashion is taking the internet by storm. Among the plethora of creative ideas circulating online, one particular video of a DIY bag made from a Parle-G biscuit wrapper has caught the internet’s attention.

Recently, Ms Shweta Mahadik, a content creator turned a Parle-G biscuit wrapper into a chic sling bag, leaving the internet impressed. 

She shared a video of the entire process on Instagram and mentioned that she took inspiration from luxury brand Balenciaga's Lay's bag. The video starts to show her cutting an empty packet of Parle-G. She then places the wrapper between two transparent plastic sheets and secures them with a black thread on a sewing machine.
