hold up. This no-sew beach bag can be ready in just a few minutes, to get you out the door and ready
for a day of fun!
Materials:
• Tank Top
• Large Safety Pins
• Optional: A complimentary
colored jersey knit top or fabric
• Optional: Needle & Thread
Instructions:
1. Turn your tank inside out and
fold in half lengthwise, with the
side seams at the center.
2. Use safety pins to created a gathered seam along the
bottom of the tank top, about 4-5 inches up. You can make
the bag deaper or shorter, depending on wehre you place
the seam.
3. Turn the bag inside out again so that the gathered section
is now on the inside the bag.
4. Voila! You are done. Instant beach bag!
5. Add a fun flower embellishment by creating two circles of
a contrasting color. Jersey knit is perfect, as it won’t fray.
Grab the center of the circles and bunch them up! Secure
with a small rubber band and cut off
the end. Secure the base of the flower to
your bag with two safey pins, from the
inside out, in an X pattern.
6. If you have more time, or just want to,
you can skip the safety pins and use
needle and thread to make this bag
permanent.
