From Old Shirt to New Tote Bag!

by - Thursday, August 30, 2012




This is a picture tutorial I made on how to recycle your old shirts. When I learned about this I immediately tried making my own. This is very simple and fun to make. Recycle your old t-shirt and make a new tote bag out of it!




Materials: an old shirt, scissors, thread and needle, sequins and a sewing machine
















Optional: Use fabric paints to add designs on your tote bag.




And that's easy as that! Now, you can re-use your old shirt in a fashionable practical way. A recycled tote bag you can use anytime, anywhere. Plus, you can keep it inside your everyday bag for unexpected shopping sprees!

    Big tote bags are great to use and will be the center of attention. It can turn your pictures into a functional, durable piece of art.
