No Sew Bag with Zipper (2nd Try)

I'm getting the feeling that this may take several tries before it looks the way I want, but I won't subject you to every single iteration.

These are better.  I actually used duct tape for the handles and to line the fabric, and I really like the glossy look. (My daughter does, too).  I put the zipper in the one on the left using glue and duct tape.  I still have more work to figure out zippers, though - they're tricky.

But I got this cool blue, red, yellow, and beige duct tape so I'm set to keep trialing and erroring until I get them right.
