Basket Purse or Tote with Straps
Class Description: This useful tote is the perfect size for your lunch, to use as a purse or to carry smaller items. It is 10 ½” wide by 9” high and is 5” deep. It features a colorful strapping handle with a matching color focal across the middle. We will be spraying this in a heritage stain or you may choose to leave it natural. We will have three choices of handle and focal color.

 Coordinate colors for handles, focal and rim filler.
 Round the bottom and sides to create a pleasing shape.
