I saw a bag this weekend that a lady made out of a cat food bag...
Can you imagine..how cool.....now I have an empty dog food bag and want to make one...they are great for shopping bags..she simply made a canvas liner for hers and added webbed handles...

anyone else make a shopping bag like this? any tutes out there!
Not sure what thread, needle, etc to use on this project!

that sounds interesting

I am surfing now and finding links for you:

Guess that is a good way to recycle huh? Good luck on your project..would love to see a photo of your finished bag...
my DH uses ours to put the wood chip scraps in then takes them to the burn pile.

I have seen these before, but don't remember where. Just google shopping bags made from dog food bags. you should find it.

this is just like what the lady had made! Thanks..

you are very welcome, glad I found it for you, have fun!

I have also seen one made with coffee bags and duct tape.

I re-use my dog food bags every single week. I just collect the "used" food in the back yard and put it right back in the bag for the trash.

I wonder if I can bring them back to Pet-Smart for a refund?

I seen this in a recent magazine, but I am sure is we put in the right terms we can find a blog or tut !When craftybear sees this she will be on it for us;)

Ahh I she she already was on it lol....

This is so funny. I just emptied my cat food bag and noticed it was not paper this time, but woven plastic. I washed it out, put it outside to dry. And came to the board to see if there was any tutes on making a bag. :)
