Recycle an old tank top
into a
beach bag. All you need is some fabric glue and decorative trim.
You need:
- Tank Top
- Rick Rack or Other Trim
- 1 Yard of Cord

Instructions:
Using a small, pointed scissors, open up about 1" of the hem of the tank top. Attach safety pin to the end of the cord and push the pin with the cord through the opening into the hem.
