Doesn’t the bag look great?
There’s even a short instruction (actually it doesn’t have to be longer ;-)):
They are putting a cardboard into the bag so that the dye don’t bleed through to the back side, then they start to doodle the first item with a black fabric pen (washable!), after this the next item and the rest happens all by itself.
They say that the doodling is completely relaxing and that also children have much fun with it.

A Zentangles bag surely would look wonderful, too ;-)

Did you always wanted to make a handbag from a soft toy?
I found a tutorial for this now :)

And if you feel this is too silly try to make a giant inflatable plastic animal from your soft toy ;-))

I busied myself with ‘needle weaving’ before, it was about a necklace and I’ve said that it would be suitable for little purses.
And – ta-da – I’m finding a tutorial on how to weave a purse with it.
Well, I’m ahead of the times ;-)))

Recently I made the paper shopping bag for the ‘Craft Challenge #47 – Reusable Shopping Bag Challenge 2′ and one of the other (really great!) entries was the plarn and plastic lids shopping bag.
The idea is at first sight not so different from that of the plastic bag tote (there you can also find a link on how to make plarn (= plastic yarn)), the special thing is the bottom which she made from big round plastic lids and which gives the bag a sturdy bottom.
She attached the bottom like I did with my beverage carton crochet.

A great bag!

I really like this little purse!

The content she put into the little purse isn’t meant for children but no one will press-gang you to pack the same things ;-)

You can find a scan of her template a little bit down the entry, with this you can make your own little paper purse – as gift wrap or for daily use is completely up to you ;-))
