This is a step-by-step tutorial which will hopefully get you through your project!  Uses for this bag might be: keep marbles, gum, coins, pretty rocks, beads or anything else small you use daily in this bag.  You could make a very large version, and it would be a backpack!  Personally, I find it an excellent bag to put small gifts in- it's very cute, and a reusable package! 

This project takes me 30-45 minutes
