I purchased all the ingredients for this DIY months ago and finally had time to put it together. My inspiration were the Mawi bags that I saw on Moda Operandi. I found most of the items at Bealls Outlet and was able to keep the cost under $25.00. Considering the cost of Mawi bags which range from $948 to $666, the bag was a steal. After all, I have a baby to save for!
