I designed this project because I know not everyone has a sewing machine or even cares to learn how to sew. This is the perfect beach bag for anyone to make and the best part is all you need is a t-shirt, scissors and about 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure everyone has all three of those things so get to it! You'll be glad you did.
The fringe detail is both cute and functional- they are what hold the whole thing together so you don't need to borrow your mother's sewing machine.
I would love to see pictures of the t-shirts you use to make yours so be sure to upload some pics to our Facebook page. If you don't have a t-shirt you want to cut up just take a trip to your nearest thrift store and scoop one up for close to nothing. I'm thinking my next ones will be tie-dyed... how about you? Got kids? This would be a perfect project to make together, too!
Have fun and let me know if you gave it a try!
I think this project is so neat. I can see groups of girl scouts making them for a badge. Sending this post on to my young friends.

ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant way for my daughter to keep her old "autograph" t-shirts from school. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant idea
ReplyDeletei made of one these today! its such a great and easy idea. on the bottom of the bag i pinned it down my surface and it kept it from bunching and made it much easier to knot all the way across and i could see where the bigger holes were and put little hand stitches for extra security :) i will make more of these for sure. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
