Pasos a seguir

Cut out a cloth rectangle of 40 cm x 30 cm. Bend the cloth along and sew the opposite side to the fold and the side which will make the bottom of the bag.

Bend the top part of the bag on itself, as in the photo, and sew the rim leaving an opening to put the ribbon through. Turn the bag the right way round.

Hold the safety pin to the end of the ribbon and slide it through the interior of the fold that you have just sewed. When the ribbon is on its place, remove the safety pin.

Cut out flowers or other felt figures.

Glue the flowers on figures in the bag to decorate it.
