Canvas bags: Not only does using and reusing them reduce the waste going into landfills, but they make an excellent
environmentally friendly holiday gift. A quick D.I.Y. project
under $20 can turn an ordinary beige bag into a personalized gift that stores groceries, books and more.
There are thousands of ways to jazz up a bag, so here are a few crafty ideas that will add your own personal touch to your
carry-on:
? Cut out logos from old T-shirts and adhere them to the bag using safety pins and buttons, or sew them on with a needle and thread.
? Festoon your canvas bag with various odds and ends like
ribbon, glitter or old earrings.
? Write inspiring messages or your favorite quotes using iron-on letters or fabric paints.
