STEP 3:
Sew on decorative trim to the right side of the fabric.

STEP 4:
Sew the sides and base of the rectangles together, wrong side facing out. Leave a 1/2” seam and leave corners and the bag opening unstitched.

STEP 8:
Sew the openings of the bags together.
STEP 9:
Mark holes 4-5” away from the edge of the bag for the handles. Use your grommets as a template to mark the hole size and cut accordingly.
STEP 10:
Insert grommets into holes and hammer together follow grommet package instructions. NOTE: Complete this step on a sturdy surface.
STEP 11:
Loop in your cord and tie a knot to secure. OPTIONAL: Fray edges of knot
