Drawstring Cord
Make a cord to your liking to the desired length. I used Bella Coco’s basic cord directions.
Shoulder Strap
Make another cord the desired length and attach to the top of your bag. I used the same basic cord, but this time I used two strands of yarn held together to get a heavier cord.
Weave in all ends
