You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 Shopping Bag
  • 1 Buttons
  • 1 Cotton
  • 1 Needle
  • 1 Ribbon
  • 1 Pencil(s)

Steps (8 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Choose the buttons, I went for a PINK theme!

  2. 2

    Get your bag laid out flat and draw lightly your shape.
    This acted as a guide for my sewing - I didn't have the confidence to sew them free hand.

  3. 3

    I chose a light pink thread to contrast the darker pink buttons...

  4. 4

    The finished shape!

  5. 5

    Accessorised with a pink ribbon!

  6. 6

    Plus another 2 on the bottom of the handles to carry the pink theme on.

  7. 7

    This is another one I tried with some green buttons I had

    Quite cute don't you think?
