DIY “Oh Kale No!” Shopping Bag 

September 28, by Katie Smith. Leave a Comment

Do you use reusable shopping tote bags when you shop at the grocery store? Do you make your own? If so, you may love this idea from the ladies over on the blog A Beautiful Mess. They put a fun pun “Oh Kale No” on a tote bag and it makes the perfect market tote bag, don’t you think?

I have to admit I’m not great at remembering to bring my reusable shopping tote bags with me to the store, but I’m trying to be better about it by making my own cute bags to bring!

Get the full tutorial here: “Oh Kale No!” Shopping Bag – A Beautiful Mess

 

Why should you make your own shopping bags or totes?  Plastic bags are from the same source as all plastic: crude oil. So what is wrong with crude oil? The manufacturing process emits considerable amounts of pollution, and the product is not biodegradable. On land, plastic bags are one of the most common types of litter worldwide. As plastic bags are lightweight and float easily, this means they can travel long distances when picked up by the wind this includes landing in the ocean. Then wildlife gets tangled or ingests the bags, both in the sea and on land.  Make a difference and make your own shopping grocery bags.  Have plastic bags you need to re-use? Consider making these DIY upcycled plastic bag crafts.
