homemade veggie bags




supplies: tulle, cording/flat tape, toggle
directions:
1. cut tulle into whatever size you wanted (i eyeballed it)
2. sew up 3 sides (leaving top open)
3. fold over top to make room for cord
4. cut a slit in the fold, so you can run the cord into the seam
5. sew the fold
6. put cording thru fold
6. pull cord thru toggle
7. tie cord distal to toggle so it doesnt fray
i only bought 2 toggles, so i did 2 bags without, and it will work just fine, i just hemmed the cord so it didn't fray at the ends. the cording i bought was kind of like the ties to scrub bottoms. i got it in the ribbon section for .79/yard. i got the tulle in 3 different colors for $1.29/yard. i bought 2/3 yard of each color,and it makes 6 bags total for the size.
now i can reuse the veggie bags and not use plastic!


we took shiner back to his house last night.
but sunday night i came home and saw this.
he was holding the bottle & chipmunk.... so cute.
