This DIY tote bag is made up of the least expected material: a dog food bag. The BarkPost posted a tutorial on how to create the unique tote bag to promote recycling and, of course, its pet supplies brand website. Who knew dog food could be stylish?
All you need is an empty dog food bag, a sewing machine, an iron and an old T-shirt or towel to make the bag. The basic steps include cutting off the top of the bag and then turning the cutoff into the sturdy handles with the help of the old towel.
However, the tutorial does insist that you air out or wash the bags before using them to carry around your personal belongings because you don't want to end up smelling like kibble.
