that is cute~ i decided to make mine open at the top, which complicated the zipper, since it ended up folding back in on iteself, rather than into the back, as it would have it if i'd left the zipper on the front somewhere, but it still came out cute. thanks for the 'ible~

I've been holding on to this for a couple of weeks. What a great project! I just made one today. I didn't have a zipper so I had to use velcro. Thanks so much for the instructable! :o)

This is a GREAT instructable! Planning on making one soon. Would sewing instead of stapling be a possibility, though? I've been looking for small, useful projects to practice my newly-acquired sewing skills on. Do you happen to know if the average machine could handle the thickness of duct tape and a zipper? Thanks (:

The duct tape actually jams sewing machines and causes tons of problems- stapling is the best way to go. Even hand sewing becomes difficult as the needle acquires tackiness from pushing through duct tape.

Realmente increible y sobre todo explicado de una manera que no queda duda muchas gracias

Super idea! I like that the duck tape makes the fabric waterproof and all. I might just have to try this. :D

Beautiful..., I wonder How it would look if instead of "stapling", it was sewn.. I know, it beats the "no-sew" purpose... but still, you don't have to make the liner for the inside... as regular bags have. Anyhow.. really beautiful.

I LOVE IT:-)GREAT JOB

[LemonLily]

Thanks for sharing! Right now, I'm trying to make one but I'm out of staples! So sad! Can't wait to finish it up. Wow, your is really pretty. Looks better than the stuff you buy. I love that red and gold. Very Chinese-ish.
