Upcycling T-shirts into Bags
With the holidays around the corner, I've been thinking of some more green ideas for more eco-friendly gift wrapping options. Recently, a friend of mine mentioned that there's a way to make tote bags out of old t-shirts.
Intrigued, I immediately looked online for instructions. What a perfect idea -- reuse an old t-shirt, use it as a gift bag, and the gift recipient can use that bag for shopping -- so it can be used again and again! I found this Today Show segment which instructs viewers on how to create a bag out of an old t-shirt. You don't even have to sew. All you really need are scissors, duct tape, and a stapler. It's quick, too.
Check out the video below.
So, start digging in your closet and look for some old t-shirts! Awesome gift bags that are actual gifts, too!
