  Step 1

  The Bag Body-Start by cutting the bottom half of the tee-shirt off in a straight line. This is the part you will use for the bag. Save the rest of the tee, you'll need the sleeves for step 2.

• 

  Step 2

  The Handle:Next, cut both sleeve cuffs off, leaving about an inch from the seam. (You can leave on more of the seam if you'd like your fringes to be longer.)

• 

  Step 3

  Now cut the both handle pieces at the seam.

• 

  Step 4

  Tie the two sleeve cuffs for the handle together.

• 

  Step 5

  Tie LOOSE knots in each end. (This helps to mark how far down you will cut the fringes into the handle.)-You'll be untying these knots before attaching to the bag.
  Set this piece aside for now.

• 

  Step 6

  Get your bag piece and turn in so that the seam end of the piece is away from you.

• 

  Step 7

  Begin cutting fringes across the bottom about 4 inches deep. (Do not cut the edges that have the seam!)

• 

  Step 8

  Cut these fringes all the way across the piece trying to keep them about the same width. (I made mine about 1/2 and inch wide, but you can make them wider or smaller if you wish.)

• 

  Step 9

  Now cut the fringes in your handle piece, being careful not to cut into the cuff seam that is already there.

• 

  Step 10

  Next flip the bag piece around so that the seam is facing you and cut a SMALL hole about 3/4 of an inch down from the seam. Do the same on the other end of the bag.

• 

  Step 11

  Thread one end of your handle piece through the hole in the bag.

• 

  Step 12

  Make a (double)knot to tie it on. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for the other end of the handle.

• 

  Step 13

  Now stuff your bag with whatever you want! These are big enough and strong enough for holding binders/books/mags, or just about anything.

• 

  Step 14

  Stuff with a pillow and/or blanket for traveling or sleepovers. They'll hold much more than it looks-remember they are 100% cotton, which also makes them easy to wash.
