No Sew T-Shirt Bag

Danny decided to try this with one of his old t-shirts.
Pick a shirt with a picture you like

Cut off the neckline and sleeves

Cut off the bottom hem, and cut a fringe along the bottom

Turn inside out and tie double knots in the fringe

Turn right side out, and you're done

Perfect for a gym or beach bag
