Monster Tote Bag

The only thing better than a new tote bag is a new tote bag you don't have to pay for. Upcycle an old chair cushion into this adorable Monster Tote Bag that's as cute as it is useful. This quilted tote bag pattern is surprisingly easy to make. The cushion itself does most of the work for you, as you'll be keeping the basic structure the same. All you have to do is sew the pieces together and add some fun monster applique of your own design. This bag is great for a child's library or overnight bag. It's big enough to store almost anything your child could need, from clothes to books to arts and crafts. For a fun way to get the kids involved, have them design their own monster so that they can show off their art whenever they carry this adorable tote around.
