They thankfully had some round plastic handles that were the perfect size.
Initially I was going to dye the purse a different color since it was sooo white. But being impatient and wanting to be finished with it, I decided to keep it white. It was such an easy project that I could make another one and dye it if I really want to.
I bought a pair of black handles and some black and white ribbon. I really wanted some ribbon that was black with pink accents, but Michael's had nothing of the kind. So, I went with white.
I think it turned out pretty okay for my first project. Since it it just cotton, it cannot really support anything with any kind of weight, so I am going to add a suspended liner to the inside so I can put my keys and wallet in it without it losing its shape.
Take a look:

That's gosh darn adorable, Dana. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the white (my brain can't process things not in their original color), but with the black it looks really cute. Bravo!
That is too cute.
Your bag is fabulous! I need to come out to a meet up.

This website has handles at a good price. Just in case you make more. 8^)
I LOVE that! Congratulations, by the way! That is so cool! I think that it looks best in just plain black and white! That is awesome!
