Easy Details Dress Up This Tote

Make An Extra to Give to a Friend!

This handy tote bag is a great project for using up some of those leftover fabrics. The strips around the top of the bag are from a honey bun (1 1/2″ wide), but it wouldn’t take long to make your own strips from fabrics you have on hand.

Choose two coordinating fabrics, one for the handles and the bottom of the bag, and another for the tie and loop, to pull it all together.

This is a simple project that won’t take long to complete. Even so, the clever details dress it up and make the tote seem more complicated than it is.
