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'. 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!
