T Shirt Gift Bag Upcycle

"We all use SO much gift wrap each year and so much is just thrown away afterwards. Why not be a little more eco friendly this year and make reusable gift bags by upcycling old t shirts. Even old t shirts with holes can be repurposed and easily turned into gift bags. The best news is that it is really quick and easy to do. Just make sure the recipient is on board with the reusable idea so they pay it forward and use the bag again next year. "

More Recycled Crafts You'll Love

One of our favorite craft projects to recommend for readers who enjoy upcycling T-shirts is turning them into gift bags. If you're looking for a new project to try, we have a few suggestions that we think you'll love.

For the beginner crafter, we recommend starting with a simple drawstring gift bag made from an old T-shirt. This project only requires basic sewing skills and can be a fun way to practice your stitching. These upcycled gift bags are perfect for giving presents to friends and family, and they can be customized with different T-shirt designs to suit any occasion.

If you're more experienced in crafting, we suggest trying your hand at making a reversible T-shirt gift bag. This project involves a bit more sewing and detail work, but the end result is a unique and versatile gift bag that can be used year-round. With two different T-shirt designs on each side, you can choose the perfect look for any gift-giving occasion.

For those who enjoy a challenge, we recommend creating a set of T-shirt gift bags in varying sizes. This project allows you to experiment with different T-shirt sizes and styles, and the end result is a collection of upcycled gift bags that are perfect for storing small items or organizing your craft supplies. Plus, you can mix and match the bags to create a coordinated set for gifting multiple presents at once.
