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

gather all materials

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tie the yarn, grab your bag and go!
