Youβll need:
- Old t-shirt or dress
- Chalk or washable marker
- Sharp scissors
How to do it:
- Cut off the sleeves
- Cut off the collar (could trace a half-circle with chalk or do free hand)
- Flip t-shirt inside out and draw a line across t-shirt so little hands know where to stop cutting. This line will determine the size of your bag.
- Cut top and bottom layers of t-shirt at the same time into strips up to the line marked in step 3.
- Knot top and bottom strips together one set at a time.
- Now knot one set of strips to the next and then that one to the next and so onβ¦working from left to right.
- Flip your bag to right side out and check for holes between knots. If you see one simply add another knot to close the gap.
Time to go plastic-free shopping!
