Handmade Crochet Drawstring Wristlet Purse Bag | Bags

I made this cute little wristlet purse because I wanted something small and cute when we go out to the casino to play keno 😀 

It works up quick and easily but if you have any problems just reach out.

Bag Lining: 

Choose material that will complement the color/colors you choose for your bag and measure by placing your bag on the folded material and tracing about one inch from bag edge. I just cut straight down the side and then sew them. Then fold the tops and sew each to make a folded seam. Put the lining inside of the bag and sew the top into the bag all the way around.
