With very few supplies, you can create this adorable bag by following this super simple DIY video from eHow. This bag has become my new go-to bag for the summer. It is a perfect size for on the go, was easy to make, and only took a minimal amount of sewing.
Materials Needed For This DIY:
- Jute Webbing
- Scissors
- Jute Webbing
- Fabric Hot Glue or Sewing Machine
- Needle and Thread
- Jute Cording
- Rattan Trivets
- Measuring Tapes
Directions:
Step One
Measure out the webbing you have chosen to your desired size. this will be the lining of the inside of your bag, so you will want to make sure you leave a big enough opening at the top.
Step Two
Cut strands of rope to the size of the jute webbing. Make sure you leave enough room on each side of the webbing to attach it to your rattan trivets. Glue the rope strands to the webbing using fabric glue, or sew them down. Trim off any of the frayed edges.

Cut a strip of leather 52 inches long to use as your bag strap. Fold the strip in half and glue it together. Finally, glue the strap to the bag to hold it into place, then attach it to the bag by sewing it.
