How To Make a T-Shirt Tote by Kat

I guess it is time I formally introduce you to someone, she’s my oldest daughter…BalletGirl (age 14)…but for those of us that know her outside the blogging world we call her Katerina. She’s been working on making crafts and meals through Pinterest all summer long, in fact she made a bucket list of all the crafts/recipes she wanted to try out. Recently I saw how crafty she was getting and asked her if she would like to have a small column on my blog, “The Life of a Home Mom” and she was so excited. Oh I forgot to tell you, she was already a step ahead of me, she’s been taking pics of the stuff she does step-by-step and quickly wrote up a how-to piece for me. So let me welcome all of you to ……Kat’s Krafts.

T-shirt Totes Material:

Scissors
t-shirt

So far this week I have made 4 t-shirt tote bags out of shirts I was getting ready to donate. I found the idea from pinterest, there are a lot of different types on there. I find it better if you use tank tops, but if you use a long sleeve or a short sleeve shirt you might want to cut the sleeves off. This project only takes a few steps and they can be used as a variety of different things, from a tote, diaperbag, backpack, etc. Here is how you do it.

1.  Find a shirt 2. Cut the bottoms in the front and back at the same time, so make sure they are on a flat surface.

3.  Double knot the bottoms together, but at the ends you will need to loop it around and pull into a knot. You don’t want anything slipping out at the corners. When you are done you’ll have a stylish new bag that only took a few minutes. I hope you liked this craft and if you try it you let me know how it turned out. We would love to see the picture, if you can’t post it in the comments my mom said email her at homemom3@gmail.com with Tote-shirts in the subject and she will post pics. See you next week at Kat’s Krafts.
