Boho rustic strip bag

Rustic and Floral I love working with flowers, i don't like wearing them as much, and I don't like appliquing them on bags that I use. I made an exception this time. I wanted a rustic bag for myself. I found these strips for the body of the bag and these to create a braided strap. After I attached the strap and closed the bag, I hung it on the wall and something just didn't feel right. The body of the bag is rustic and rough and the strap is too soft and lightweight. I unpicked the top stitches, removed the strap and thought about it some more. I decided I wanted a heavier, wider really rustic looking strap so I created one.
