Carry it all and stay stylish
We all use bags for so many things. We use them in the market, at school, for outings and much more.
Won’t it be nice to know how to make our own bags?
We can use them or even sell to our friends and neighbours.
It can also be so much fun to make something new!
Here is one way we can make our own bags. It is a project you can work on alone or with friends.
What you need
How to make it
Step 1
Cut out the neck and hands of the T-shirt like in the picture below.
Step 2
Cut the bottom of the shirt into thin strips. Each strip will have two sides from the front and back of the shirt.
When you are done the bottom of the shirt should look like this…
Step 3
Take the 2 sides of each strip (that is, from the front and back of the shirt) and tie them together. Make sure it is very tight.
And you’re done!
You can put things in your bag like books. You can also decorate it anyway you want. You can paint it with poster colour or draw on it with a coloured marker
Finally, you can also turn the bag inside out for a different look.
Let us know in the comments if you will be making your own bag too. We want to know how it goes!

Of course you are. welcome to springster beauty child.
Hey enyola! Thanks for the comment. Religion is personal (and also very sensitive) and everyone has their own faith and beliefs. Everyone is allowed to their own opinions as long as religion is involved. We are not a religious body and we cannot address religious and sensitive topics like this so that no one gets offended. We are here to help girls in Nigeria to believe in themselves and also to help them build their confidence. So, we do not talk about any form of religion. We hope this helps

Hey chrisdove! Thanks for this amazing feedback. We really appreciate it. We will love to see your bag. Can you please share a picture of the bag on our facebook page? We can't wait to see it. Thanks once again
Tried it and its lovely I'm 15 and a serious introvert, so talking to people or going out there is really a problem for me but since i came across DIY(do it yourself) at 13 in 2016 on the net, i've had an entire amazing wardrobe. My whole room looks super cool too Just spending some time in my room with a scissors, some colours of thread and some old clothes and old stuff have helped me a lot I dnt really have to throw anything away anymore and i never get bored staying at home I hope girls who sincerely prefer sitting at home to going out there can try it too *Big sis i really wish you would share this
