DIY Plastic Bag Holder to Sew

I realized how easy it was to make a DIY plastic bag holder and set out to make a good-looking one with really cute fabric.

The best part about this plastic bag holder is that it’s really easy to sew  (the perfect beginner sewing project), and it only uses one fat quarter of fabric!

– Fat quarter – Ribbon – Elastic – Sewing tools – Sewing machine

MATERIALS:

Lay out your fat quarter of fabric. The short edges will be on the top and bottom, and the long edges will be on each side.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Press the top and bottom by 1/2 inch. Press them in again, 1/2 inch. This will create a  1/2-inch double-fold hem on the top and bottom. Sew each hem 3/8 inch from the outer fold to secure the hem.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place a safety pin on your piece of elastic.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Insert the elastic into the bottom casing. Pull the elastic in until the other side of the elastic lines up with the side seam of the casing.
