• Step 1

  gather all materials

• Step 2

  cut magazine into strips and tri-fold each strip gluing the folds down so that the strip lays flat

• Step 3

  begin weaving the strips together gluing down the overlaps. try to keep the strips as close together as possible so that there aren't big holes in the bag

• Step 4

  after you have a perfect square, repeat steps 2-3 for the 2nd side of the bag

• Step 5

  after 2 squares are made, hot glue the edges together leaving one edge for the opening

• Step 6

  cut card stock so that it is the length of one edge and width to fold and create a border on both sides and hot glue it on the edge of the bag

• Step 7

  repeat step 6 on the other 2 edges that have been glues together

• Step 8

  for the open edge, use two separate pieces of stock instead of one folded piece

• Step 9

  create two small holes in the top of each side of the bag to run yarn through as a strap... I hot glued the yarn on the inside of the bag for a little extra reinforcement

• Step 10

  tie the yarn, grab your bag and go!
