In a similar vein to basketmaking, making this purse shared a likeness to the process of making baskets. I made this bag from scratch using different types of grasses such as Cattail and reeds, but also incorporated some rubber cord for the straps.
First, I had to make the rope by twisting different grasses together. When I twisted enough rope, I was finally able to weave the rubber cord in and out of the rope to hold the pieces together. And viola! A little natural purse big enough to hold my belongings was born :-)
