I go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy plexiglass. (The thin one) It works wonders. It's easy to cut. They have even cut the entire sheet up for me in a couple different common sizes!! I make a sleeve (pillow case) and it slips right inside and looks very finished. You can actually slip the plexiglass out of one cover and in to the next purse you will be using.
It's the best I've found so far!!

I've had good luck with using plastic canvas, covered with Warm & Natural batting, then I make a sleeve for it out of the lining fabric. Also, a friend suggested that I could use the plastic cutting boards you can get at any Dollar store for very little - but I think I would also cover that with batting and lining fabric, as I like the looks of the padded bottom.

I haven't used them, but there's a product called baggy bottoms.

I found the samples of flooring strips are the perfect size for a bottom. I cover it in fabric and put a small strip of Velcro on the bottom to hold it firm in the tote. They are .98 or less at Lowes if you want the newest floor. Free if the floor is discontinued. LOL

You can purchase plastic purse bottoms, but I have found that using a piece of foam board covered with fabric works just as well. Some people also use plastic canvas but it has some 'give' to it and isn't stiff enough for me. Foam board is usually available at Walmart in the 'back-to-school office-supply' section. Michael's also carries it, I think.
