I wanted to make something out of recycled materials so I came up with this bag!

  1. Step 1

    gather all materials

  2. Step 2

    cut magazine into strips and tri-fold each strip gluing the folds down so that the strip lays flat

  3. Step 3

    begin weaving the strips together gluing down the overlaps. try to keep the strips as close together as possible so that there aren't big holes in the bag

  4. Step 4

    after you have a perfect square, repeat steps 2-3 for the 2nd side of the bag

  5. Step 5

    after 2 squares are made, hot glue the edges together leaving one edge for the opening

  6. Step 6

    cut card stock so that it is the length of one edge and width to fold and create a border on both sides and hot glue it on the edge of the bag

  7. Step 7

    repeat step 6 on the other 2 edges that have been glues together

  8. Step 8

    for the open edge, use two separate pieces of stock instead of one folded piece

  9. Step 9

    create two small holes in the top of each side of the bag to run yarn through as a strap... I hot glued the yarn on the inside of the bag for a little extra reinforcement

  10. Step 10

    tie the yarn, grab your bag and go!
