DIY - fun holiday tote

I was recently in Sephora and was given this cute cinch gift bag with my purchase. I thought it was so cute and I wanted to get better use of it. Here is what I came up with.....

Cut the top of bag off and remove the silver string that cinched the bag. I will use the cut pieces for my handles later. I found this tan suede fabric in my fabric box that would work great with the design of the bag.

On the reverse side, sew the suede to the other fabric. Iron the top to fold down nicely when handles are sewn on.

Finished in about 20 minutes. It really was quick and easy and I love it!!!!
