Cutting the Pieces for the Bottom
Take the secondary fabric (jeans) and trace the cardboard rectangle, then cut (leaving 1/2 to 1 inch as a border. Use that and trace onto and cut the primary fabric (blue) so you have 2 fabric rectangles about the same size.
Sew the Bottom
Sew three sides of the fabric squares together (with the pattern/color facing inward on both. Then turn inside out, slip in the cardboard, and see shut.
Creating the Sides
Measure the length of the four sides of the square, and then cut a rectangle of the primary fabric with that length. The height should be the height that you want for your bag (plus 1-2 inches). Then sew the fabric onto the edge of the rectangle, so that all 4 sides are attached.
Sew the Sides Together
Then you should sew the ends of the fabric rectangle together. This should look similar to the picture above at this point.
Sew the Border
Use the four Popsicle sticks to form a square. Sew the Popsicle sticks onto the edge of the fabric, overlapping the fabric. Then sew under the Popsicle sticks to keep them in place.
Add Handles
Use strips of ribbon or fabric to create handles in whatever style suits you
Embellish and Enjoy!
