When I was in my teens, I have learned how to make a drawstring pouch for myself. I started with smaller ones until I made pouches where i can put my make up on.

Here’s how:

1. You will need two pieces of cloth and one piece of string.
2. Sew the squares of cloth together so that they joined on three sides.
3. Cut a bunch of slits in the top and wove the string in and out between them.
4. If you’re feeling artistic, you can embroider your initials or your name with a gold or silver thread. Or you can put beads or hand paint your  own design.If you really want to make something more complicated, you can always get into drawstring backpacks. Although these bags close like drawstring pouches, They are more complicated in design. A backpack requires multiple panels of fabric, and they have to be carefully designed.
