OMGosh!!!! How cute is this?!! When you say bag do you mean a gift bag? I could see this laminated, stitched and used as a seasonal little cute purse!! This is just precious. It might be more simple than it looks, but could you post how you did this? How you secured the sides and the boa, etc? Oh, did I mention that I LUV THIS BAG!!!!!!

How adorable!!! Please tell us how you did that. How did you secure the cardstock and boa? Where do you purchase a boa? I love the cardstock combination too. TFS
Thanks to everyone who has commented on this project. It truly is a simple project:
Take 2 pieces of 12x12 cs...score the bottom 1" of both
Take 2 coordinating pieces of cs, and cut them to be 6x12" each...score the bottom 1" of both
I used eyelets to secure them together...I cut a piece of cardboard 6x12 to go on the bottom...I used sticky strip to adhere (it will adhere to the 1"score)
I also cut a piece of cardboard 1x11" to attach the boa to...this will go on the top inside...punch a hole ...thread the boa through...use packing tape to adhere to the inside
The boa was purchased from the Container Store, but Hobby Lobby also carries it
Thanks again
