Oversized Carpet Bag DIY

By Francoisetmoi

Yep, this bag is made from a rug. This killer (and affordable!) rug to be exact. I made myself a carpet bag because A. I think carpet bags are dope, and B. Every year I end up toting my Holiday gifts to gatherings in disposable plastic bags, and every year I think what a shame it is that the gifts I spent so much time wrapping up with pretty paper and ribbon make their way to their intended giftee in a lack luster plastic grocery bag.

No more! Not this year. I saw this Nate Berkus rug at Target, instantly loved the pattern, and knew it would make a great carpet bag. I had fun with this project because since you don’t cut the rug edges, there are no raveling yarns to wrastle with. Just hand sew up the sides, add a handle and boom. Done!

Scoot over to SheKnows for the full tutorial and tote your gifts in style this year!
