This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents are scattered in the Astral Plane. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.
Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can’t be reopened.

How do you make one
There are rules for crafting magic items in the DMG and in Xanathar's Guide to Everything. It's the DM who decides if crafting magic items is allowed.
True.
Take note that this is an item that a level 2 Artificer could infuse into a normal satchel, though still to your point the DM would have to allow the use of an artificer.
But if your DM allows artificers, it's the easiest way to get one.
Could I fit a dragon turtle in this?
No, definitely not. It is 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. That could fit a small character, and perhaps you could squeeze a medium character into it. A dragon turtle is gargantuan in size. 5e doesn't get more specific on the size, but 3.5e classifies a dragon turtle as 20-30ft in length, a shell 15-25 feet in diameter, and between 8000 and 32000 pounds.
You can do this.
Add a backpack to inventory. Then custom name it to "Bag of Holding." Then just don't equip it, and it's weight and contents won't tally towards your weight. You'd probably still need to add the magic item, Bag of Holding, so you do get it's 15lb weight.
So my players weren't kidding...
This is a Bag of Colding
That's an item from the critical role stream but not a canon magic item. The closest on dndbeyond would be the Chest of Preserving. But that's a common item, and I don't see why anyone shouldn't be able to homebrew the bag of colding by combining those.
This looks incredibly helpful!
I'm exited to give this to my players. They will definitely be needing it.
Also, if you're doing a Harry Potter themed campaign, this could be useful for Hermione's magic bag.
Imagine D&D without the bag of holding: who could survive?
(Please raise a hand if you think you could)
As a hoarder, it is hard to grasp how.
I am a hoarder.
wait what happens if you put a bag of holding inside out? because the bag of devouring says "Turning the bag inside out closes the orifice"
So for some reason, in the last session I just played, our Paladin decided he wanted to fill the bag of holding with water. We decided to make sure to say he only filled it to the max weight it can hold. However reading up on the properties of the bag, I would say throwing the bag into a body of water would actually destroy the bag, as the water would continually try to go inside of the bag. As the space within the bag is bigger than the space of what 500lbs of water would take up, the bag would continue to fill with water. Once that weight goes over 500lbs, the bag would rupture and be destroyed. So the correct answer to how much can a Bag of Holding hold if thrown open into a body of water is none since it would destroy the bag before you can pull it out.
Turning the bag of holding inside out dumps all of the contents out. You then have to turn it right side out to be able to use it again. It is in the details of the bag explaining this.
The extradimensional interaction…does that just apply to other magic items? Or, also to spells (Example: “Rope Trick”)?
why is it so expensive I need 2 to hold 248 loaves of bread as a pigeon that is 7x the size of a normal one (7ft long 5ft tall) named Mr. pigeon as a swarmkeeper ranger with a swarm of pigeons, but he needs his bread, but he can not hold all them with out 1.9375 bags of holding and he is a pigeon, he does not own 5,000 gp. i need help and Mr. pigeon needs his bread
Next time I have a party member that can fly and I have one of these. I'm going to store ridiculous amounts of pointy swords and weapons in it. Ask my party member to fly over top of the big bad evil guy and ask him to point it downward and turn the bag inside out. Yes, I am that kind of player.
