or would another colour do?

Tis is for dd's prom.She's wearing a bright green short dress silver jewelery and shoes but thinks a silver bag may be too matchy matchy iykwim.

What about another colour like deep purple or black...would that be hideous...I think she's past caring now lol.

You make a knot in each corner leaving a good tail

Then you knot the two sides together & get a handle - then you do the opposite side

In Japan they sell squares of material to match dresses & they have really complicated knotted bags

They can be really lovely - kinda like origami

sounds lovely-what a great idea!

You can make them large with a big scarf or tiny with a handkerchief - an evening bag could be quite a small scarf
