I recommend something like Tacky Glue. Punch holes at the tops, every inch or half inch and put some cording through and knot it together. Felt is easily glued together and it doesn't fray. You can also buy felt shapes and letters to decorate the bags. The cording/rope you should also be able to find in the craft store, especially if its one that carries material. Another advantage of using the felt is you don't have to cut out the fabric either.

Glue the two side edges together except for the top inch or so. When the glue is dry turn the bag right side out. Fold over and glue the top edge down to make a tunnel that you can feed the ribbon through. Run a single ribbon all the way around, or run a ribbon through each side and tie the two ribbons together on both ends. It's not a durable project, of course, but I'll bet the memories you create will last a long time!
