Plastic Bag Holders

Here is another great craft to make with a small piece of fabric. Everyone needs a pretty place to store their plastic bags. I made a bunch of these for my craft show next week to!

Supplies Needed:
1 fat quarter
thread
1/4 in elastic about 6 inches long

Press your fat quarter so there are no creases. Next fold in half long ways.
Sew down the side leaving about a 4 inch opening at each end.
Fold the end of the fabric over and pin down. Repeat on other end of fabric.
Sew down .
Where the 2 pieces of fabric meet is where you are going to put your elastic through. The best way to do this is to use safety pins. Put a safety pin at the edge of your elastic.
I also pin the the other end of the elastic to my fabric so I don't lose it.
Work the elastic all the way around using the safety pin to hold on to. Sew the ends of the elastic together..

Repeat at the other end but sew your ribbon on first so you can hang it on the wall.
After the elastic is sewn on both sides turn inside out and your finished! So simple but so useful!
