Uprecycled: Kid's T-Shirt Tote Tutorial

Last year a friend of mine gave us several Patriotic T-shirts for my daughter. We got alot of use out of them last July, but as kids do, Audrey's grown like a weed, and this Independance Day she's too big a girl for the little shirts!
Here's a great way to upcycle your kid's T-shirts into fun tote bags once they've grown out of them! I thought this bag might be great to bring to a Fourth of July parade this year for candy collecting purposes! You certainly could use the same method for creating tote bags out of "mommy-sized" T-shirts and use them for knitting supplies, picnic goodies, beach neccessities, or anything else your heart desires! This bag is so quick to make, you'll have turned your kid's too-small tee into a one-size-fits-all bag in no time!
What you'll need...
Kid's t-shirt, 2 large buttons, needle and thread, rotary cutter and mat, scissors
1. Cut the bottom 3" from your child's t-shirt.

Once upon a Purim a few years back I decided to make some designer purses from plastic plates! They're perfect for little girls to give to their friends on Purim, and they'd be great for birthday party favor bags!
Of course you could make the same thing from large plates, and your creations would then be large enough to hold a respectable gift. A miniature bottle of wine or grape juice together with some other packaged foods that are flat (how about a nice sandwich?) would make a nice presentation. And the truth is, with my experience most people would much rather receive something fun like this, than a huge basket!
