5-Minute T-shirt Book Bag {earn free books!}

A upcycled book bag or made from a t-shirt! Use a t-shirt with a logo or embellish with fabric markers. The options are endless for this quick 3-step project.

Do your kids love to read as much as mine do? i.e.: Do your older children go through a chapter book in a day or two? Has your son’s teacher expressed concern that he has been skipping through all of his schoolwork just to get back to reading his latest book? If so, today’s post is for you!

Needless to say we frequent our public library often and have accumulated enough books over the years to start our own! We’ve made many t-shirt bags over the years because they are such a quick project! Great for packing snacks in to go to the park, a book bag for preschool, or bringing to the library to tote books home in.

5-Minute Book Bag Tutorial

Supplies:

t-shirt

scissors

sewing machine

Step 1. Cut off the sleeves and neck of t-shirt.

Step 2. Turn inside out and sew bottom of the shirt closed.

Step 3. Turn right-side-out and decorate if desired.

Fill with books and snacks!

Easy, right? Do you have an old shirt lying around that could be used for a t-shirt bag? I thought my son’s “Vote for Pedro” shirt would make an awesome bag, but he wasn’t ready to part with it yet 😉

Ruby and I picked up a box of Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain bars at Sam’s Club® a couple of weeks ago and uploaded our receipt to redeem 2 free books! One for us and one for her school. Then I noticed that the Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats we purchased qualified as well, so we ended up getting 2 books for her and 2 for her school. She is in a Peppa Pig phase right now so it was a no brainer. Peppa Pig it was. It will still be a week or 2 before we receive them, but it was exciting to earn free books with items that we would have purchased anyways!
