Just by revamping your bag to create your own “Bazillion Bullion" bag. That is how I made the original bag. The bag was a friends who asked me to spice it up, and well, let's just say I went a bit OCD and I'm glad I did. In the pictures to the left you can see the original brown bag as it was given to me. Bullion Pattern: Depending on the size of the bag you are going to use will depend on how many bullion's you are going to have to crochet. In the bag I made I used approx. 200 bullion's including enough for the strap. Follow this link to understand how to create the bullion's. www.healmyhands.com/how_to/bullionstitch.html After you have crocheted allyour bullion's, you willnow need to sew (darn) them all together. I made 10 rows of 15 bullion's across. Neatness or evenness isn'that important. When you have your bullion cover completely sewn together you wil now sew it to the front of your knitted or crochet bag. After you have done this you will add a border of bullion's in an uneven fashion to add that extra interest to your bag. (look at the border in the pictures to the lefto see how I did the bottom bullion's.I then lined my bag, (my girlfriend actually did the lining) she is an amazing experienced seamstress. I used two different fabrics to compliment the colors of my bag. Batik is the main fabric and then I used a Embroidered Sheer chartreuse fabric for the inside of the pocket. I then added magnetic snaps (optional) across the top of my bag and finished off the strap with approx. 30 more bullion's. On the strap I didn't bother to sew them together first as I did on the bag. I sewed them directly onto the strap itself. I could of done the same thing with the bag, but I found it much easier and quicker to sew it together first. I did not sew the bullion cover to the bottom of the bag. like how it hangs. You'llsee when you do it yourself. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this technique. 2nd Option: is to knit or crochet your own bag: Here's the pattern forabasic generic knitted bag You will need: 2 ball of lceland Crystal Palace Yarns US 13 needles straight or circulars:\* to use, and the size you are going to make. The bag pattern I posted is just a Basic bag pattern to give you an idea. I also felted my bag just a bit to give it better structure and more stability. You can only do this if you are using a natural yarn that can be felted. Be sure to refer to the yarn label. Bag Pattern: CO 40 sts. Work garter stitchfor the entire bag until piece measures $z0"$ Then BO stitches loosely. Fold baa in half and seam both sides toaether. CO 4 sts. and work garter stitch until strap measures your desired length, and BO.1 worked mine approx. $30^{\circ}$ Sew strap to each corner of the bag and put aside.
