11. Granny Square Tote Bag
A little bit take on the classic granny square tote bag. It is not your usual round and slouchy design, but it is a square and textured elegant tote. The plastic canvas was used to stiffen the sides of the bag, and the leather handles were added for a more classic look. The size can be easily adjusted by just adding or reducing the number of squares used in the project.
