Drawstring Bandana Beach Bag
Stitch up a bag to carry your towel, lotion and a magazine to the beach.

You Need:

• Two Bandanas
• 6 Yards of Satin Cord
• Scissors
• Sewing Machine
• Large Safety Pin

Instructions:

Line up bandanas, right sides together. Sew all around three sides 1/2" from edge.

Fold remaining top edge down all around 1" from top. Press. Sew 7/8" from the edge, leaving a 1/2" opening. This will create the pocket for your drawstring. Turn the bag right side out and press well.

Cut three 2 yard pieces of satin cord and tie them together in an overhand knot. Braid the strands together tightly. (Ask someone to hold the end and keep it pulled taut while you work to make braiding easier.) Tie the final ends together in an overhand knot. Trim. Pin a large pin to one end of your braid. 

Push the pin with the braid into and through the pocket all around and out the same hole. Tie ends together.
