Tutorial: Reflective handle Halloween tote, or an everyday bag

The 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.
