Show off with style in the cafeteria or on the beach with this easy-to-make and easy-to-wash lunch bag / beach bag

Materials:
Old pair of Jeans
Fabric scissors
Sewing machine or thread and needle
Cord
Patches, paint or buttons

Instructions:
To begin, cut a 12- to 16-inch section from a pant leg. Fold over a 1/2-inch strip around the top and sew it down to create a casing.

Through an opening left in the casing, thread a 3-foot length of cord and knot the two ends together.

To form the bag's bottom, cut another piece of fabric from the pants, about 1/2-inch larger than the leg's circumference. Turn the leg inside out and sew the two pieces together.

Customize the bag with patches, fabric paints or buttons
