Learn how to make a drawstring bag for personal items or make it out of mesh for your supermarket vegetables

 

No need to buy fabric, check your cupboards and make it out of an old shirt.  Recycle / Reuse.....  they don't take much fabric and this is so satisfying.  For the drawstring try using an old shoelace or the cord out of an old sweater.  Or you can turn an old piece of clothing into the string.

Suggestions for drawstring bags include;

  • Sports Shoes

  • School Shoes

  • School Swimming Bags

  • Travel Laundry Bag (a couple of these are so useful)

The uniqueness of these bags means your bag is always easily identifiable.  Make it bright enough and with any luck your little people will spot it before they forget it.
