April Holiday Crafts
Earth Day Crafts
Fabric Crochet Tote Bag: Free Crochet Pattern
Earth Day is coming up soon. This year, Earth Day will happen on Monday, April 22, 2024. I have a huge list of recycled crafts and upcycled crafts you might want to check out if you’re interested in making crafting a part of your Earth Day (or everyday!) celebrations.
One possible idea is to upcycle old sheets or garments and transform them into useful projects like the fabric crochet tote bag pictured above. If you’d like to make a bag like this one for yourself, you’re welcome to use the free pattern posted here at this website. I also have bunches of other rag crochet patterns available for you to use.
