I made a lined drawstring bag with contrasting casing, for one of my bow stands. I always have some jelly-roll strips lying around and they are just the right width for casings. Basically, you make your casing out of 4 strips- each is 2.5” wide and 1/2” shorter than the width of your bag. So my bag was 8.5” and the casing was 8”.
It’s a nice look for holiday gift bags, if you coordinate the colors for the holiday (e.g. red & green for Christmas, blue & white for Chanukah, etc.)
Here is the one I made.
