All first DC stitches are ATC

R2: *[1 dc,1 tr, 1 dc] in first st (this is the first corner), 1 dc inc in next st. Repeat from * 6 times. (30 sts), sl st

Repeat R2 until each long rectangle fits around 5 sides of the hexagon (mine was 168 rows (counted both sides of the thermal crochet piece).

Butterfly Crochet Hexagon Bag Assembly

Sew the long rectangle (side of the bag to give it thickness and space inside) between the 2 hexagons (like the image above). Optionally add plastic canvas with lining on the inside.

Sew the 4 rings (2 on each side) to the bag and attach the leather purse straps (or crochet straps).

Finishing Touches

Optionally hot glue butterflies and flowers to the front of the bag.
