Bells have been a long-time feature in the Animal Crossing series. The main currency in the life sim, Bells have many functions in the game, whether it be paying off debts to Tom Nook, purchasing items in in-game shops, or trading with fellow Animal Crossing players online. So, it is not a wonder that many of the game’s fans take inspiration from the Bell, even producing fan-created products themed after the easily recognizable item. For this fan, they decided to show off their love for the Bell bag by using crochet as their medium.

On Reddit, user strawbhaby shared a photo of the real-life Bell bag they crocheted with their fellow Animal Crossing community members. In the photo, the Bell bag is seen placed against some foliage, providing a nice green contrast to the bag’s yellow body. Many fans will likely also appreciate the accurate way the artist crocheted the brown star on the bag. For fans who have played through several titles in the life sim series, many know that the star logo is seen on Bells across the Animal Crossing series.
Comments on the Reddit thread seemed to truly admire and appreciate strawbhaby’s Animal Crossing Bell bag. Some also expressed their interest in the item, saying that the artist should sell them for real dollars and that they would actually be interested in buying the Animal Crossing crochet piece. According to the artist, not only is the Bell bag an aesthetic item, it can also hold everyday items such as a small wallet and accessories. This makes it both pretty to look at, while functional at the same time.
Being generous to the rest of the Animal Crossing community, strawbhaby also shared some of the resources they used to complete their crochet Bell bag. This makes it easy for fans who want to try and make the same item for themselves. Hopefully the artist will be inspired by more in-game Animal Crossing items and crochet real-life versions of them in the future. The community will likely be very interested to see what they come up with.
