I'm on a roll!  Okay, here's my most recently made bag. I made it back in like September but just now got to photographing it...

inside

I used thick paperboard from a stationery box to make the bottom stiff. Despite using the stiffest pellon I could find, this still ended up floppy. I'm so frustrated with interfacing!

I made my own! Here's the new photos including the strap I had to make... They didn't have any ready made ones at Jo-anne's.




front open-the duct tape isn't as wiggly as it looks. I had the flap curled up for awhile so it'll flatten with a book or two.


rear view




inside, flap open.  I'm thinking i'll cover the entire inside of the flap in duct tape to make it look better.

I used 3 layers of clear packing tape on top, 2 layers of clear duct tape on the back, pieced it like a jordy bag but without the bottom seam.  I put in 2 layers of cardboard in the bottom only.  I lined the inside obviously with duct tape as well as edged all the rough edges.

Any extra logos or pictures are things I cut off of the big one pound or whatever bags


Thoughts? Opinions?
