Here I m sharing my idea to make this wonderful tote bag.

To create side hanging 

Material used

1. jump rings 

2. beads 

3. crochet and checkered lace

4. jute cord in green colour 

5. small yellow pom poms

6. metal filigree leaves 

7. yellow coloured anchor embroidery thread

8. Jute sheets

9. Canvas Tote bags

Steps to make hangings 

1. I interlocked almost 9 jump rings , I used i_ pins and beads and fixed them by making a loop in the jump rings  

2. I stitched the jump rings on one side of the handle , on that I stitches a crochet bow made from the lace  

3. I tied the green jute cord around the bow and stuck small yellow pom poms on the cord 

4. I stitched the yellow jute rose made from the jute sheets on the bow centre . Then  made 2 yellow tassels by rolling         yellow anchor embroidery thread over my 3 fingers and tying then from the top and cutting off the roll from the other end 

5.Now I stitched this tassel on the jute cord base and also made 2 checked lace bows and stitched them above the yellow tassel and stuck yellow pompoms on it 

6. Lastly I sandwiched 2 gota Patti rounds on each side of the jute cords and finished my charm .

To create  jute flowers

Material used

1. Yellow jute A4 size

Steps to create  jute flowers

1. have divided the jute sheet in yellow colour in half , drew a spring circle on it wid a pencil and cut along with the lines to get a springy shape 

2.then I rolled the jute spring into a rose flower 

3. from the other 1/2 , I divided it further into half and created a small rose in the same way 

4.Next I cut the brown and white jute sheets into 4 parts each and rolled each into small Rose's.

Preparing the bag for final decorations 

1.first  stuck the jute burlap lace in 2 lines on the bag with fabric glue 

2.next I stuck the crochet lace in the middle of the burlap lace and on the two sides . 

3. I stuck the checkered lace above the crochet lace from the base side 

4. I stuck the crochet rounds randomly in a corner and on that I stuck the jute Rose's.

5.I started finishing my composition by stitching  the gota circles,  buttons and filigree .

And taddddaaaaa..... this beautiful tote bag is ready to use.....
