Crochet Batawa, Crochet Draw String Bag

 

Hello friends, 

How are you all? busy in Christmas planning! So this is my next creation, BATAWA, Draw String Bag. I made it perticularly for Sankranti. In this festival ladies meet each other for Haldi Kumkum and Oti is given for which ladies need small bag (Batawa). In many occassions Oti contains Coconut and if we put it in ordinary crochet bag then it elongates and it's shape is disturbed, to avoid this I manage wooden base for this bag so that when we put Oti with coconut in this bag it's shape is not disturbed and looks beautiful any time.

Other Draw String Bags I have made.
