How to Make No-Sew Tote Bag Craft from Recycled Old T-Shirts
Crafts Materials Needed
– Old T-Shirt
– Scissor
Step 1
Take out your t-shirt. Cut off the sleeves and a portion of the collar as well.
Step 2
This is what your t-shirt will look like after you cut off the sleeves and collar.
Step 3
Now cut slits on the bottom of the t-shirt (going through both sides). Cut each slit about a half inch apart. We are going to use these slits to tie the bottom of the t-shirt together with double knots. If you don’t know how to tie knots, then the instructions below will help.
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Now pull the 2 tabs sticking out until it is tight and you have one knot. Now do this process again to make a double knot.
Step 7
After you have tied all of the slits together, your bag will look something like the above picture.
Step 8
This is what your bag looks like with stuff in it. It is very sturdy as this tote bag is filled with very heavy books. I hope that you had fun.

Absolutely AWESOME. Most of us have psuedo ‘memoravlia’ t’s that we can now use and smile at… What a great solution. Kudos to the troopleader— sure beats ‘christmas trees’ made from old |Readers Digest volumnes
