6. i got all my canvas bags at thrift stores
check out your local Goodwill or Salvation Army

as to making one, it's pretty easy. cut two squares the same size, then a strip 5 inches wide the length of three sides of the squares. put a hem on the top of the squares and strip, sew the strip around one square, then sew the other square to the other side of the strip

you have a bag with sides and a bottom

if you want handles, get some clothes line, sew tubes of material, turn it right side out and use a big safety pin stuck through the clothes line to thread it through the tubes. attach to squares with heavy needle and thread, voila, handles!

doesn't take much skill, just use the heaviest thread you can put through the sewing machine and triple stitch everything

good luck!
