They are such a convenient size and I have found any number of uses for them over the years. One thing I have learned is that they can be very useful when I want to travel light, like on a shopping spree. I just throw my phone, a credit card, and a lipstick inside, zip and go!<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the bags were just little zippered pouches, however, over time I realized I could make them more convenient by crocheting a key ring into the design and making a strap I could attach to that key ring. This made them super easy to loop over my wrist and carry.<\/p>\n<p>I realize that those of you who have purchased my patterns might enjoy having a strap to carry your <a href=\"http:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/index.php\/product-category\/purse-patterns\/coin-purses\/\" target=\"_blank\">coin purse<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/index.php\/product-category\/purse-patterns\/clutchmakeup-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\">clutch<\/a>, so I&#8217;ve created a short video showing you how I macrame the strap from the leftover cord and a few pieces of hardware you can buy for 50\u00a2 or so. It is perfectly coordinated with your purse and adds a whole new level of usefulness to your bags.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uTkHp4lEreE\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-847\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-847 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Wrist-Strap-Video.png\" alt=\"Macrame a Wrist Strap\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Wrist-Strap-Video.png 600w, https:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Wrist-Strap-Video-300x170.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interested?
