When the sun comes out, you want to get out and start tanning as soon as possible. If you already have all your tanning supplies in one bag, you can just grab it and go.
Using an old tank top or T-shirt to make a bag to carry your tanning supplies is the answer you are looking for. Not only is it a way to recycle, you will not mind if some of the lotion spills, or sand gets on your bag.You can just rinse it off when you sinse off your tanning supplies. No one else will get their bag mixed up with your one of a kind creation either.
Gather a few supplies for your project. Select an old cotton tank top that is too small or that you no longer wear. Try to find one made of heavy duty cotton. Do not use a tank top made of material that is too stretchy or it may stretch out too much when you place full bottles of tanning supplies inside. If you do not have a tank top, a cotton T-shirt will also work. You will also need some straight pins, a pair of sewing shears, thread and a sewing machine. If you do not have access to a sewing machine, a needle and some heavy-duty thread will do. Even if you do not sew much this project is easy enough for any one.
Start by turning the shirt inside out and pinning the bottom hem together as evenly as possible. Since this seam is on the inside of the bag it is okay if it is not perfect. It will be hidden by tanning supplies anyway.
Sew the bottom of the shirt together using at least a quarter of an inch seam allowance. If you use a sewing machine, back-stitch a few times to make the seam extra strong so tanning supplies do not fall through. If you are sewing by hand, double knot your thread and make the stitches as small and even as you can. If your shirt is bigger than you want your bag to be, you can make the seam allowance bigger, or cut off some of the hem, re-pin and sew.
Remove all the straight pins and turn the shirt right-side out. If you are using a T-shirt, cut the sleeves off to form handles. Make sure you do not cut the handles too thin or they could break. If you are using a tank top the straps form the handles and will not need to be cut. If you want the opening of the bag to be bigger for larger tanning supplies, carefully cut off any ribbing from around the neck opening.
If you do not have the necessary supplies at home to make a bag for tanning supplies, try stopping at the local thrift shop or Goodwill. Neighborhood yard sales can also yield hidden treasures. A mesh tank top is the perfect garment to create a beach bag to hold tanning supplies. You just may find one at a sale.
Put all your tanning supplies in your new bag. There should be plenty of room for a towel, reading material, tanning lotion, snacks, music and a sunhat. Grab your bag of supplies and head to the beach, lake or front yard, wherever tanning is the best.
