The Pickup The Planet Pouch ~ Tutorial


In my last post, I introduced you to Pickup The Planet.  This is my son's project.  He's picking up one piece of litter everyday and hoping to inspire others to do the same.  I love supporting his efforts and together, we came up with an easy craft that comes in handy when you're cleaning up the planet.  We call it The Pickup The Planet Pouch.

Sometimes you run into litter that's dangerous to handle like broken glass or sharp metal.  Other times you may encounter trash that's just kind of gross.  These are the perfect occasions for The Pickup The Planet Pouch!

 
Made from a classic bandanna cut in half, this little pouch is a great size to keep in your pocket or carry with you in a purse.  It's 100% cotton and can be washed and reused over and over again.  Here's my son in action, showing you how to make a pouch of your own.
