Easy to make and no extra hardware needed since it calls for button holes instead of grommets. Also, I folded 2" strips in quarters (like making a bag handie/strap) and used the resulting 1/2" strap instead of rope for the cinch closing. Next time I may leave one of the lining side seams partially open to turn the bag instead of the given steps.
