A challenge
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a reusable shopping bag, with printing on both sides. Our group was challenged to cover the printing, thereby decorating the bag. It is somewhat of a contest. This is what I came up with; the little bow is just being auditioned to see how it would look. The plan would be to place a little bow at the base of the handles.
Still, it feels like it needs a little something more. Any suggestions?

This is a lovely job. In the past, I have done something similar but they were on bags made from rough hessian that needed to be disguised so it didn't scratch your legs. I love your folded diamonds.

Very nice! Looks good to me the way it is!

I love this!!
A few years ago when these reusable bags were fairly new, our guild had a "decorate the bag" challenge for our Kroger brand shopping bags.

The challenge was such a hit that Kroger began noticing them in the stores and finally asked about them. The manager of one store asked the guild to display them all in his store where they could be voted on for a customer favorite! We were thrilled to share and the winner received a little gift from the store.

Maybe your group can do the same. :)

I think giant yellow buttons would look better than the little bows. The bows don't really add much and they don't really tie in to your really cool folded hexes.

What a great idea, I love your bag. You do beautiful work.

I Love your bag, and I love the diamond pattern you did.

Now I have a question How do you make those diamonds?

I was thinking big chunky buttons in pink , making it look as if they were holding the handles.

Beautiful!!! I "see" a pink frame around it, with ribbons running up along the centers of the handles, connecting the frame and handles (the frame hanging from the ribboned handles).
