    Cut out the neck. Again you can cut this deeper. You can also use a bowl to perfect your circle. As you can see I threw caution to the wind and just cut

    You'll need to cut the tassel at start and finish of tshirt in half so you can then start tying them together. I did double knots for strength. Tie the front strand to the back strand

    Now there may be some gaps between the knotted strands/tassels so this is where you start tying knots between left and right strands to close the holes

    As you look along or pull the bag apart slightly you'll see where the gaps are so just tie strands across from one section to the other

Getting my craft on today. Using up the husbands 'good for old' tee's (He's got a few of these piling up) and avoiding plastic bags whenever we can!

Great for shopping trips, putting gifts in for friends and family, school book bags, lunch bag, togs bag...for ALL your bag needs LOL.

I think they're pretty cute and saving the planet one bag at a time #reuse #recycle #repurpose

Have a go at making your own and share your pics with me HERE - Awesome - Estelle
