Let’s face it, if JLaw is a fan, then so are we! Harper’s Bazaar hails the “Bucket Bag” as one of the “It” bags for 2015, and with celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence toting it around, it’s no wonder everyone’s rushing out to pick one up.

However, if you’re not up for paying $875 for an Alexander Wang bag, like the Diego Bucket bag Lawrence wears, we suggest you find a way around it.

Where there’s a will, there’s a DIY way. A couple of websites are making it easy for you to rock this runway accessory and we’re not ones to hold back valuable information.

For a great cinched rendition, head over to Life and Style for their instructions, complete with a pattern and photos. It’s stylish and simple, and has a nice little touch of hardware attached. In short, we love it!

Or perhaps, metallics are your thing! In that case, A Pair and a Spare has got you covered. It’s a simpler, straight forward bucket compared to the above from Life and Style. The site supplies you with straight forward pattern and simple to follow photos.

Whichever rendition you chose to go with, we think you’ll be amazed at how much they look like their high-end counterparts.

When you see something on the runway or your favorite celebrity, take a moment before you dismiss it as unattainable, and remember it’s highly likely that someone can probably teach you how to make it!
