Ugly bag + orphan blocks = cute shopping bag
1 Attachment(s)
I really don't like using freebie promo bags. So I looked through my orphan blocks, added some batting scraps and I think I ended up with a pretty nice looking shopping bag. Looks totally different with that printing covered up. I'll have to say the appliqué was a little tricky since I didn't undo the side seams.

Very cool. Looks a lot better now and great idea to use up the orphan blocks that are sitting there saying do something with me :thumbup:
|
what a great idea. I have some plain bags I am going to do this to
|
Good idea - now that is called upcycling!
|
Wow, that looks great. You know how to recycle in style!
|
What a great bag! That's a wonderful idea ... thanks for sharing.
|
Whooo hooo great job!!
|
Yes, what an improvement! And great idea. Thanks for posting!
|
What a cute idea! Thanks!
|
I love doing this. They then make grw at gifts!
|
I will be doing this with some of my "free advertising" bags. Great idea.
|
The bag looks so much better now. Your block is really nice.
|
Great idea. In my city the stores are not allowed to give out plastic bags anymore so this is a really good idea. Will have to do this to all of my bags now. Thanks for the idea.
|
What a great idea! I have a stash of these bags and didn't want to throw them away - now I can upcycle the bags and get rid of UFO's at the same time. Thanks so much for posting!
|
Wonderful. I am always happy to see the use of cloth bags for shopping and when dressed like this, even better!
peace |
very nicely done... i've been meaning to do the same with my bags... you're inspiring me :)

Nicely done.

Great idea and it made such a cute bag. Recycling at it's best!
|
very good idea..... nice
|
Very cute upcycle!
|
Nice, nice, nice.....what a good idea for those bags that are useful, but not so attractive!
|
Was the original bag cotton? I have quite a few bags but I think that they are nylon. Do you think this idea would still work? Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

Nice use of an orphan block. Looks great.

Awesome, great idea!!!!!!!
|
What a good idea!
|
Great idea. I have some that I have reluctant to use because I did not like the message. This certainly takes care of that!
|
Decidedly much better looking.
|
That's a good idea!! I used some to make trick or treat bags, I didn't think about your idea!
|
Very neat idea! I use a lot of those & will put some of my orphan blocks to good use.
Thanks for sharing..... |
Great idea.
|
Fabulous idea!
|
Very clever, and it makes a lovely bag.
|
Really great idea. I've got a number of bags that I think this would work on. Thanks for the idea and for sharing it!
|
What a great way to take something you dislike and make it unique. Very clever. Thanks for sharing.
|
Great idea. Love the NEW look!
|
I have a big pile of bags that I'm going to do this too. Thank you.
