HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOTE BAG-OUT OF A TANK TOP!
By: Annie, 11, PA (AKA Pennsylvanian_7)

Do you have millions of old tank tops
clogging up your dresser drawer? Well
here's a way to make some use out of
them. Believe it or not, you can turn
that old tank top into a new tote bag.
Just follow these easy steps:
What You Need:
- An old tank top
- a needle
- some thread
What To Do:
Step One: Thread the needle.
Step Two: Sew the two bottom ends of the tank top
together. The straps now function as handles!
Step Three: Express yourself on your new bag with
some design! Or if you already like the design
embroidered on the tank top, keep it the way it is!
SEWER'S TIP: To make sure your bag lasts, you can
double stitch (go back and sew over your work again)
to make the sewing stronger.
You can make dozens of these at a time because it's
so easy and fast! It's a great project for a rainy
day, or anytime you're bored!
