Materials and Equipment Needed

• Tote bag featuring cute baby-themed fabric or prints
  • A good bag option is the type that can be found at grocery stores or other types of stores. These bags are usually intended to carry items while shopping and to be used in place of plastic bags when you make purchases.
• Old t-shirt or fabric scraps
  • Choose a fabric or t-shirt in a color or pattern that matches or complements the colors in the bag you chose.
• Hot glue and glue gun
• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Craft knife

Steps

1. Begin by cutting two rectangular pieces of cardboard that are large enough to fit into the bottom of the tote bag.

2. Hot glue the two pieces of cardboard together so that they are one thick piece of cardboard.

3. Lay the cardboard pieces onto the piece of old fabric or t-shirt.

4. Use hot glue to wrap the fabric around the cardboard and fit it in place.

5. Hot glue the back of the fabric-covered cardboard and press the piece down into the bottom of the tote bag. This will form a more solid and colorful base.

6. Cut two long strips of fabric the same length as the long sides of the bag.

7. Hot glue these cardboard pieces to the sides of the bag at the inside of the top near the handles.

8. Hot glue the whole bag closed, using the two cardboard pieces you have just attached to help create a sturdier top portion.

9. Fold another piece of scrap fabric or old t-shirt fabric to create a long, thin rectangle. Hot glue the fabric together so that the rectangle remains in place.

10. Hot glue the strips of fabric to the front of the tote bag to create a cute border and to cover the rough edges at the top of the bag.

11. Fold the fabric strips down over the corners to give the bag a more finished look.

12. Use your ruler to measure the exact center of the tote bag.

13. Use your craft knife to cut a slit from the center of the fabric border you have just added to the bottom of the bag, but be careful not to cut through the bottom trim of the tote bag.

14. Cut two long, thin strips of scrap fabric or old t-shirt.

15. Hot glue these fabric strips along the edges of the bag that you have just cut open. These will form a border on this front opening.

16. Finish the top of the bag with a final fabric strip if you still need to cover any of the exposed cardboard edges.

17. Snip the straps of the tote bag in half so that there are now four straps instead of two—there should be two on each side.

18. Tie a knot in the end of each of the four strap pieces and secure the knot with a dot of hot glue. These can now be tied to hang the diaper stacker wherever it might be most useful.

19. Congratulations! You have just finished your complete no-sew diaper stacker bag.
