This is a functional fun bag. It features beads on both sides.

Made from two mandala type pieces worked in the round. The beading is added as you go. If you have never done beading, then that is ok. It may look hard, but it is quite easy the way I do it. Pictures are there to help.

The Tote has stiffening in the base and outer edges to help hold the shape.

It is not a lined bag as I have left it more of a market bag style look.
