MAYAINTHEMOMENT TEEN CRAFT: No-Sew Recycled T-shirt Bag

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

 Hey everyone! So I went to CHA and at the iLoveToCreate booth one of the many awesome projects was this cute no-sew t-shirt bag! I LOVE this project because it requires absolutely no sewing what so ever. If you have old shirts you don't want, this is the perfect project! (Plus I need a bag to carry my books!!)

SUPPLIES:


First, Cut the sleeves off. This is going to be the holes for your arms, and depending on how "baggy" you want it, will depend on the cut. I wanted it fairly baggy, thus I cut as close to the sleeves as I could get. This is an XL shirt, so I didn't need to cut that much off. Next, cut off the collar(same as the sleeves), then turn it inside out.
  place tape along the bottom of the shirt on one side. To seal the tape, rub over it a few times. Next peel the waxy part off, and you should have a very sticky line of tape. After this, take the other part of the bottom, line it up with the tape, and rub it to stick. To double secure it, place tape on both sides of the bottom.

 I used this lace I found in my stencil box to create a design with the spray paint.You could also scrunch it, tie it, or add regular tape for stripes!After this, let it set for a couple minutes to dry.

All done! I LOVE In-n-Out. Do you think they'd give me a free burger with this bag?! Think of how many burgers I could fit in this bag...Worth a shot!!!  :)
