I found something unrelated to biking that In a short bit of time I could convert into a inexpensive frame bag.

Here is what I did to make this bag.

I picked up a set of these(4)Canopy Sand Bags http://amzn.to/2p1jJ68 they have a set of velcro straps(4) already attached for the upper tubing of the bike.
I use the velcro to attach to the top rail of the bike. I cut the top webbing strap about a foot with about 6" left over on one side, then I put a 1" plastic buckle on the webbing I sew the buckle in place, the buckle i'm using has a built in flint and strikerhttp://amzn.to/2p1xwKd to start a fire if I need to in an emergency.

they make nicer bags if you are willing to pay a few dollars more. here is one with a zippered top http://amzn.to/2pwR6PE

I bought another type a little heavier duty material made from Codura Nylon I am building an underseat bag, will post photos when I get to that project.
