Keep it Simple
- Grab a reusable cloth grocery bag and put your own unique spin on it. Instead of making a new bag from scratch, decorate an older one to give it a new look!
Take it Further
- Make reusable bags to give out in your community to encourage others to stop using plastic ones. You can even run your own crafting evening where others can learn how to make their own unique bag.
