Ripple Tote bag using Catherine wheel

It has been ages since I last posted anything and I am so surprised that someone is still checking the blog.

I love ripple design and also love love Catherine wheels. It looks so pretty. So I thought to adjust the design to make it look like a ripple. I am quite happy with the way it turned out .



And I was about to write the instructions but realised somebody has already made a video on Youtube. Here's the link. 


Let me know if you need any more clarifications. And I love that it was really fast to make.
