1. Lay 2 placemats on top of each other.
2. Use embroidery needle to sew placemats together with monofilament, leaving enough space on one side for the top opening.
3. Cut rope to about 18”. Feed the rope through one of the placemats in two spots (about 4” apart) and tape the two ends together so that you now have a complete loop.
4. Use a dab of hot glue to secure the end of the (pink) parachute cord in the loop of rope.
5. Wrap the parachute cord around the rope until you reach the other end, and finish with another dab of hot glue. Repeat for the handle on the other side.
And you have a super chic, lightweight purse for the summer that's perfect for a few essentials!
