DIY Upcycled  T-Shirt Backpack

Learn how to upcycle a t-shirt into a backpack. This is a great beginner sewing project to make a simple backpack!

Supplies:

STEP 1

Cut off the tag.

STEP 2

Cut a rectangle around the neckband and shoulders. I cut my rectangle 14″ x 14″ leaving the shoulder seams and neckband intact.

STEP 3

Cut the hem off of the bottom of the shirt.

STEP 4

On the back of the neckband, cut two small slits. Use a safety pin to thread the hem “string” through the slits and through the neckband.

Lay out the hem “strings” down to the bottom of the rectangle.
