It’s been a while since I posted something under my “Crafty Crafts” category!  Recently I’ve been working on some homemade yoga mat straps and even a “bag!”  They have turned out pretty well, although I’m still tweaking the patterns slightly to get them exactly where I want them to be.  For example, the strap pattern is a little bit short for my liking, so I made mine longer. The bag was actually easier than the straps except for that I chose to match the pattern on the square pieces that attach the handles to the bag which took extra time (see closeup images). Anyhow, here are the links I used as well as a couple of pictures of what I’ve made so far. Definitely pretty easy little projects if you’re looking for a simple craft to try!
