Making No Sew Recyled Shopping Bags out of Grain Bags

Learn to make these awesome bags while Helping to heal our environment by repurposing items is one of our goals at NBACE.  What a cool way to do that by making an every day bag from a bag !  These grain/feed and seed bags are beautiful and made of woven plastic which you can't kill !!  For this reason they make spectacular bags.  We'll use duct tape, no need for sewing, and it goes quick as a lick.  The results are extraordinarily practical and you'll never be without a handy, reusable, sturdy and fashion forward bag.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
