Create a pretty tote bag from a dog food bag, in just a few simple steps.
Total Time: 1/2 hr. or more depending on sewing speed or if using duct tape instead
Supplies:
- dry dog or cat food bag
- scissors
- big thick needle with thick thread or duct tape if those aren't available
- hot glue gun to glue on ornaments or use stickers and paint
Steps:
- Get any size dry dog or cat food bag.
- Cut the top off and empty.
- Turn bag inside out. Cut another strand off. That will become the two handles.
- Cut both ends so they measure equally.
- Fold about an inch over inward and make a crease all around top of tote.
- Sew or apply duct tape all around top edge.
- Fold over bottom of handles about 1/2 inch and sew before sewing onto tote. Otherwise again use duct tape if you can't or don't know how to sew.
- Sew handles a few inches away from the ends.
- Lastly use a glue gun to glue on ornaments, apply stickers, or paint your tote! :)
