I was inspired to make this DIY tote bag after I took a trip to the farmer's market and realized I needed a comfortable and lightweight bag to carry all my goodies. I love the way this DIY project turned out and, more importantly, there was no sewing involved!

A pillow case already has all the stitching you need to create this easy and stylish tote bag. The cross-body shoulder strap also makes it super comfortable to carry around all day. Just grab a pillow case from your dresser, stamp it, give it a couple snips and you've got a custom carry-all tote for your next trip to the market!

Follow the steps below to make your very own. 
Steps:
• Lay the pillow case flat with the open end facing down, then fold it upwards just past the center so that the open end is now facing up. 
• To add a pattern to the bag, cut out your desired shape from an ordinary sponge and use it as a stamp. 
• To attach the strap, cut small holes on both sides of the pillow case where the open end meets the back layer. Grab your fabric and knot it on both sides. I weaved three pieces of fabric together to create a braided look.
• Turn the bag over and connect the two bottom corners by cutting a small hole in each corner and knotting them together with a small piece of fabric.
• To create a tassel like I have on my bag, grab some of your scrap fabric and wrap it around the center of the flap. 

You're done! Enjoy your new bag. Follow along on Facebook and Twitter to see all my weekly DIY project.
