How to make your own DIY canvas grocery bags

Efforts to phase out single-use plastics are escalating all over the world, and one of the chief items in the eco crosshairs are the plastic bags that were once a norm of grocery shopping.

But given our mounting awareness at the scale of global plastic pollution, reusable canvas bags have been on the rise in terms of popularity, available for purchase in-store and online.

But what if you could simply make your own? If you have some basic sewing machine skills, this video shows you how to go about it! Better for your budget, more sustainable, and kinder to the planet… it’s a triple-whammy project that’s definitely worth giving a go.

Advisory: a product placement occurs from 2:14 minutes to 2:35 minutes, after which the demonstration resumes.
