To make the strap using 2 strands of yarn together (I used pink and yellow) make chs approximately 45 inches long. Cut off yarn.

Sew a button to the top of the bag at the center. Join yarn at the back of the bag right behind the button and make chs long enough to go around the button, sl st in the same st where you joined yarn and fasten off. Weave in all the loose ends.
