This quick and eco friendly project is perfect for carrying groceries,books, or just everyday items and it doesn’t need any sewing skills at all. With these few steps, you’ll turn a plain t shirt into a durable and reusable bag. Let’s get started!

Materials needed:

-an old t shirt

-a pair of scissors

-and a flat surface to work on

Pick a t shirt you don’t really wear or like anymore, the bigger the shirt the bigger your tote bag will be!

lay the t shirt flat and cut off both sleeves following the seam lines. These will become the handles for your bag.

Cut a U shaped neckline, this opening will be the top of your tote bag but make it as wide or narrow as you like.

If the t shirt is too long you can trim a few inches from the bottom to make the bag the perfect size for your liking.

At the bottom of the shirt, cut vertical slits about one inch wide and two to three inches long. These will create fingers along the bottom edge of the shirt.

Tie the front and back fringe pieces together in double knots. This will close the bottom of the bag and for extra strength you can double knot each pair.

Your tote bag is ready! Use it for shopping, carrying groceries or even as a beach bag.
