bag

[jellipses.livejournal.com]

At church I saw a woman had a square-shaped bag made out of Capri Sun pouches. The pouches were flattened (no straws), sewn together (i assume) and laminated. There was the front panel and back panel, which were 6 pouches by 6 pouches (i THINK) and the side and bottom panels, which was 1 pouch by 6 pouches. The panels were put together by punching holes and threading cord through them. I don't know how to explain it any better. The handles were those shiny bamboo handles which I assume she purchased but I don't know how she attached them. However, I overheard her saying that the bag wasn't very durable.

Does anyone know how I could make this- I think there's a similar tutorial out there for creating bags out of magazine covers, but I can't find it. And if you do, how could I make it more sturdy, besides just laminating it? And how can I attach the handles?
