I recently saw this bag online, and it inspired me to make a new bag for the upcoming season. With traveling back and forth for weddings this fall, it's nice to have a small tote to store books, journals, and craft supplies to pass the time on those long car and plane rides.
I made this tote by dipping the bottom and top of the tote in a mix of water and black dye, shifting the fabric back and forth so that the pattern would be uneven. I also used a large paint brush to add additional strokes of dye. Once the tote dried, I cut off the original straps and sewed on leather strips for straps.
This project takes only about 20 minutes of hands on time to make and is extremely customizable. Enjoy!
Um, AMAZING! Always love the projects you post.

I like the result and the colors. The wide straps make sophisticated look effect too.
