A Bag made from patterned Faux Leather Paper

1   Cut a 65 x 28 cm piece of faux leather paper for an approx. 23 cm high bag. The base is a 19 cm diameter circle. Cut a 37 x 17 cm piece of faux leather paper for a small bag measuring 11-12 cm in height. The base is a 12 cm diameter circle. Moisten the paper in water and scrunch it up for a creased, rustic look. It's a lot easier to work with the faux leather paper when it is moist.

2   Sew the large piece of faux leather paper together on the short side to make a tube.

3   Attach the base with wooden pegs and sew it onto the tube. Now turn the bag inside out, so that the patterned side is on the outside.

4   Fold down the edge by 3 cm.
