The Strap
Now you just need to add the bag strap.
You will loop your dark blue yarn such that it turns into 3 strands (Tutorial for that is HERE). Now crochet 3 sc stitches back and forth in rows to create a strap. I made it 108 rows long. But you can make it shorter or longer.
Now, with your tapestry needle, sew the strap to the other side.
Now, fasten off and weave in your ends.
You can now also add a lining and a zipper. I have a tutorial that will help you with that right here.
That’s it! Now you can keep this beautiful Snowflake Tapestry Bag for yourself, OR you can gift, sell or donate this pretty bag.
