You have to love these Recycled Market Totes made out of empty pet food bags. I think this is such a clever way to reuse something that would otherwise go right in the garbage can. As someone who can’t sew a straight line in a piece of fabric the only thing I ever sew is when Indiana was a puppy and would chew through her stuffies left and right and I would perform surgery on them so he could have them back it wasn’t pretty sight.
So when I realize these are completely cut apart and then sewn back together I wasn’t sure how she would achieve that to make it last. Can I say i love my bag and it does hold things I have taken it grocery shopping (where the cashier and bagger both thought it was such a neat bag) and then used it to bring over a tray of dessert to a family event. The bag was sturdy and held up to quite a bit of weight. Just don’t tell anyone their dessert was in a Recycled dog food bag – I don’t think they would see the humor.
These totes would make great bags for the beach because you can shake the sand out and just take a sponge and wipe them clean at the end of the day. You don’t have to worry about wet bathing suits or towels messing up your bag or ruining the seats in your car.
They also make great picnic bags or a place to store your art supplies.
About frankcluck:
All items in my shop are handmade in my home. Most of my products are made by repurposing items otherwise known as “trash”. I feel strongly about reducing my environmental impact, and hope to share that message through the products that I sell. Help me make small steps to reduce to the amount of trash in landfills by purchasing my products. Small steps make big changes!! By the way, all pet food bags have been thoroughly washed with a cleaner that contains mint essential oil.
Wondering what makes my products different from the others? Well, quite frankly, its the workmanship! You are not just getting a chopped off food bag turned into a purse/marketbag/tote. I take the time to cut the bags down to get the best graphics. I then carefully sew them, using a double seam so they are strong and sturdy. I take the time to offer you a quality product I am sure you will LOVE!!
Would you like a bag made from a specific brand of pet food? If you can supply the bag, I will do the work. Contact her for information!!
