A nice addition to match any decor and a great way to save that change.
Approximate Time: 30 minutes
Sew a 2 inch scrap of matching fabric to the top of one square of fabric, right side to right side. There is no need to hem this scrap unless you want to.
Fold this scrap and then hem to the wrong side of your drapery fabric.
Fuse fusible web between this scrap and your drapery fabric.
On the right side of this same piece of drapery fabric place your lace across the top from one side to the other, down about 3 inches. Far enough that when you tie your ribbons under the ring of your container and above the fat part of your container your lace will be below the tie.
Fold your hankie in half and finger press for a mark to hand stitch it by. Position it where you want it and use a long running stitch of matching thread to hold it in place. Bring the top half down over the bottom.
Lay your two squares right sides together and hem around the three raw edges. Turn right side out and place your container inside your completed bag. Tie your ribbons around the container just above were it juts out.

Reuse a clean tuna can for change or other small items. Decorate it with fabric for a simple or more elaborate container. This is a page about making a fabric covered tuna can.
