Old T-shirts make great tote bags!
DIY T-Shirt Bags
These are super easy to make! They fold down tightly so are really handy stored under the front seat of your car for a bag while out, or in a backpack.
Cotton is best, don't use overly stretchy fabric, for obvious reasons!
- Start with your cotton t-shirt
- Cut off the sleeves and deepen the neckline.
- With your scissors, cut strips along the base of t.shirt, approx 1cm thick, and 6cm long
- Tie each second strip (both layers) in a firm reef knot, then the next two, and so on until all are tied together on bottom of t.shirt.
- And that's it, so simple! These bags are quite stretchy so can fit lots in them, but are also strong.
We love them! They also create great conversations at checkouts.
