Tutorial: Reflective handle Halloween tote, or an everyday bag

September 29, 2013 by Anne Weaver

Tutorial: Reflective handle Halloween tote, or an everyday bagThe Purl Bee shows how you can make this Halloween tote.  The boxy bag is made from a natural canvas, with a length of wide, reflective ribbon for a handle.  It’s safety and sophistication all rolled up in one cool bag.  They show it as a Halloween tote because of the reflective ribbon, but with neon and neutrals being a trend this season, I’d totally carry it around as an everyday tote bag.  Go to The Purl Bee for the tutorial.
