DIY Convertible Towel Bag

My son sometimes rides his bike with his friends to go swimming. He was carrying his towel around his shoulders, and I was nervous it would get caught in the spokes of his bike, making him crash.

I came up with this idea to help him when he was riding his bike, to help my daughters keep their towels out of the dirt, and to carry so much more when my towel is on my back!

MATERIALS:

Sew the Straps Cut what you are going to use for straps just longer than the width of the towel. If it frays easily, then finish the edges or tie knots at each raw edge.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Fold the strap over the edge of the towel and clip it in place. It should be the same length as the width of the towel.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Tack each end of the strap in place.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place the right side of the hand towel (the side with the straps) onto the back of the beach towel. Line up one long edge of the hand towel with the short end of the beach towel.
