No-Sew T-Shirt Tote Tutorial

20/8/2017

​This is a great, quick and impressive project to do with children. You could make them as gifts or as part of a fashion topic. In fact, it would be perfect for an environmental project on 'up cycling'. 

Materials
Any old t-shirt
A pair of sharp scissors

Time: under 30 minutes
Skill level: absolute beginner
Age: Anyone old enough to use fabric-cutting scissors

Picture
Step 1
​
Cut off the sleeves.
Step 2
Cut the neck into a scoop. The deeper the scoop, the longer the handles. Then, turn it inside out. ​
Step 3
Cut slits all along the bottom, about an inch apart and 2-3 inches long. Cut through the front and back of the t-shirt at the same time. ​Make sure you cut the far left and far right ones in two (along the seem). ​
Step 4
For every pair, tie the front strip to the back strip in a single knot. ​
Step 5
Look at your first three knots. Take the left-hand strand of the middle knot and tie it to the right-hand strand of the left knot. Then, take the right-hand strand of the middle knot and tie it to the left-hand strand of the right knot. (The ones I'm touching in the pictures). Then, take the right-hand strand of the right knot and tie it to the left-hand strand of the next knot. Continue this all along. ​
Ta Da!
Turn it inside-out and voila! You have your very own t-shirt tote bag!

    Hi! I'm Mrs P: passionate primary school teacher!

    Help them to know something they didn’t before, feel something they never have, do something they thought they couldn’t do or, best yet, ask a question they hadn’t thought to ask before. If you can do that for a child every day, consider it a job well done!
