No Sew Upcycled Tote Bag

Happy Day!  Hope you all are having a wonderful day.  I have a fun project for you that is fun, quick and oh so easy!  A "no-sew" tote bag with a little pineapple flair!  Pineapple you say?  Yep, pineapple is the color of the month at Imagine so I thought it would be fun if I colored the tote to resemble the colors of a pineapple.


I was so surprised how much the finished tote will hold!  I stuffed in 4 beach towels, a couple suntan lotions and still had room for more!  I'm thinkin about makin' a few of these puppies for Christmas gifts. They would be so handy for all sorts of things.

Here's a quick run-down on how I did it....


Trim arms & neck to form a "V" in the center.


Wet.


Flick a couple colors of green, yellow and gold All Purpose Ink on the wet T.


Scrunch up the shirt and squeeze.
(this will distribute the ink giving it a tie dyed look.)


Lay flat to dry.
Once dry, iron on both sides to set the ink.


Snip the bottom into 1/2" strips about 3-4" up.


Knot and you're tote is done!!
Told you it was easy :)

    Oh, this is such a fun and cool idea. I have a bag over on the Rubber Dance blog today but I spent ages with the sewing machine. I love this. Might have to try. Hugz https://rubberdance.blogspot.no/
