This is a great "quiet" bag for a child. Like when you have to take a little one to somewhere that they need to be quietly occupied. You could put in a small snack, and a quiet game or book. I especially like that the dangle bits are made of cloth, so they won't make noise. OR, if you wanted to make them Christmassy, or some other holiday theme, you could add a jingle bell, or other holiday appropriate dangle bit. It makes a cute gift bag for a little one or an adult. Thank you for sharing this tutorial!

I’ve seen a few tutorials for these bags, but this is the most comprehensive one for the actual construction that I’ve seen. These are perfect gift bags. Growing up, my family always exchanged handmade gifts at the holidays. Jams, jellies, candies, or the rare and prized quilt - all arranged in a basket. I’m making plenty of these for continuing the tradition. ❤️

It's essentially a "dongle" at the end of the ties. The only thing I don't like about this bag is the narrow double folded tabs that hold the cording which create more bulk in a narrow seam. Oftentimes, too, the feed dogs don't capture these narrow pieces well so there is migration when trying to sew the sides. Second, with the tabs being so narrow there are large open gaps at the top when the cords are pulled tight which could be remedied with wider tabs. I like a little more security where small items won't drop out due to gaps or creeping fingers can't trespass. The folding tips to help meet edges for sewing are great. Sometimes we forget to do the quick, simple things that make a project easier and stress free

You could also refer to the dangly bits as aiglets: An aglet (/ˈæɡlət/ AG-lət) or aiglet is a small sheath, often made of plastic or metal, attached at each end of a shoelace, a cord, or a drawstring. These bags are really cute. I like how they stand by themselves. One could use a stiff interfacing on the lining, or quilt some batting between the two layers to make them even stiffer.

The little threading helper you made on the unstable ribbon would also be called an aiglet - a temporary fully functional aiglet. The doodads at the end remind me a little bit of netsuke, though those were used for a different function. From en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsuke, I learned also that a sliding bead on a cord, like your toggle, is called ojime in Japanese

Could the end bits be a type of AGLET: a metal or plastic tube fixed tightly round each end of a shoelace. Sometimes called a tag or a point, these rolled metal pieces were also used as a decorative embellishment for clothing or ribbons in the early 17th century. Decorative filigree AGLETS were. used to finish the ends of corset cords. Before the invention of buttons, they were used on the ends of the ribbons used to fasten clothing together. Sometimes they were formed into small figures. Shakespeare calls this type of figure an "aglet baby" in The Taming of the Shrew.
