live. love. scrap.: tote bags

I love cute and simple projects.

Like these totes.

I came across a darling new collection of tote bags at Hobby Lobby.

They all have cute sayings printed on them. I actually had a hard time choosing one.

Anyway, I thought they'd look even cuter with flowers.

I added three flowers to this one.

I got this bag for a friend who's going on a mission trip to Paris and London.

I thought the quote was fitting for her adventure.

I added a big lace and burlap flower.

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for cute tote bags!

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

For the word of the Lord is right,

and all His work is done in truth.

Psalm 33:4

How many times have you been carrying an armful of stuff

and wished that you had a tote to carry it all?

Happens to me more often than you'd think because I don't like to make multiple trips from the car.

I found a quick fix to this. . .

a t-shirt tote.

I just made two cuts like this,

then turned the t-shirt inside out and sewed along the bottom.

After being turned right side out, I have a delightful and sturdy tote bag.

I made this one from a t-shirt that was a 2x size.

I think it may be a little too big, so I suggest you stay with a large or smaller.

I think I'll make several that I can take back and forth from the grocery store to

reduce how many plastic bags I use.

Wouldn't this be a great use for the school t-shirts our kids get every year?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

And blessed be His glorious name forever!

And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.

Psalm 72:19
