Who doesn’t love a nice felted tote? At last count I had five of them in circulation, and had made at least two dozen more for family and friends. I also love a nice gift bag, an environmentally-friendly alternative to holiday wrapping paper. Combining my two loves, could there possibly be anything better than the gift bag actually being the gift?

This one will be hard to give away, especially if you regard your felted totes as lovingly as I do. Swap the shades in the pattern, and you’ll easily have sufficient yardage to complete a second one, without shelling out another dime.
