DIY Circle Drawstring Bag That Becomes a Shoulder Sling
If you love pouches but hate fishing for things at the bottom, this bag is a game changer.
It opens into a big, flat circle so you can see everything at a glance, then cinches into a comfy shoulder bag with a quick pull of the cords.
Use it for toys and snacks, a makeup kit, or even as a portable project bag for sewing and knitting.
By the end, you’ll have a versatile organizer that lays out your day—and then slings over your shoulder when it’s time to go.
The finished measurements of this bag are approximately
35㎝(13¾″) W × 28㎝(11⅛″) H.
