Felt Flower Storage Bag

DQ Kblog Flower Storage Bag 1
As we continue to celebrate Earth Day and Spring and a month of flower projects here is a versatile storage bag decorated with a bright daisy chain flower trim. This bag could be made in any size, I chose to make a small bag for my granddaughters to use with their dolls. From collecting refuse to storing small pieces I wanted to involve them in Earth Day.

My two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter spent an hour picking up and putting items in the bag. We then set it up as a trash bag outside the Ice Cream truck.
