Take 2 of your t-shirts and turn them into an awesome tote bag! I used a sewing machine to do this but you can aways hand sew. Sorry about the lack of photos, totally forgot to take them.
So let me know what you think and i totally want to see your versions!
P.s. i got this idea out of the book "108 ways to transform your t-shirt" by Megan Nicolay
