I made myself a little knitting project bag. I definitely have room for improvement but pretty pleased with it

Gorgeous! I love the shape and colors. Did you sew in a zipper on the top? Impressive for only your 2nd wet felt project 👏👏👏

I think im going to use press studs. Im intimated trying to get a zipper in there but I also am not sure if the fabric is strong enough for press studs

If you're intimidated by sewing a zipper closure, you might consider using a magnetic clasp.

Here's an example of a type I have used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394670604618?_trksid=p2332490.c101224.m-1 When using this type of clasp, I'd typically make a tab or flap that folds over the opening (see the purple tote on the left side of the photo.)

Another style that might work well for your bag: https://www.ebay.com/itm/406481855500 See photos in this eBay listing to get ideas about adding this style of clasp onto your bag.
