Using instructions from a book called One yard wonders, I created these two not ugly car trash bags as they're called. I altered the finished product slightly for cost effectiveness. The original instructions call for a parachute buckle to be used around the straps. At around $4 a buckle I decided to substitute Velcro instead. After finding the home decor fabric on sale at hobby lobby the flowery bag cost a total of $3 to create. I wasn't as lucky with the other, but since I wanted it to appear more masculine I didn't have as many fabric options. The striped one still only rang in at $5. And I'll share a secret with anyone wanting to make these...if you cut the fabric carefully each bag really only takes 1/2 yard of fabric with a bit to spare!
