Cut your 2” x 36” strip of felt into half, creating two strips
measuring 2” x 18” each. Take one of the strips and fold it in
half lengthwise, then use pins to secure the fold.

Now, pin the handles to the bag so that their raw edges sit
about 1⁄2” below the top edge of the side panels.
Sew at a 1⁄8” seam allowance along the pinned edge, then
repeat the same stitch line on the folded edge. Repeat this
process for the second handle.
Stitch the handles in place, following the stitching of the
embroidery design to conceal the stitching. TIP: To help with
hiding these stitches, we used clear monofiliment thread!

Once sewn, the back of your handles will look something like
this (stitch lines vary by main design choice).
Your Easter Gift Bag is now finished!
