One of the things that this consumer society calls for is an item that can store all your needs, buys and purchases when you need to take them home. And the best thing that has been developed so far to cater to this need would definitely be the grocery bag. But because of environmental concerns, even the grocery bag has been met with much controversy because of the sheer number of it that has to be disposed every year, especially plastic bags.

But should this bother or hamper your shopping experience? Of course not! Because with a little ingenuity you can create your own homemade grocery bag. Making a grocery bag is not all that difficult especially if you know what you're doing. And of all kinds of paper bags it is sometimes the paper grocery bag that would be most desirable all of them.

Not only is it the most environmentally friendly grocery bag of all of them, because of its biodegradability, it is also the most attractive looking grocery bag that can be made at home. So if you want a sense of style combined with your eco-warrior stance, then this is definitely the way to go.

All you need to create your own paper bag would be 2 meters of Kraft paper, a needle and some sturdy thread, and a pair of scissors. You can begin by cutting out a 42 in x 16 in sheet and an 8 x 5 in piece from your paper. After you do this, fold the larger piece to the standard paper bag 8 x 5 x 16 inch dimensions, and connect the edges using your sewing equipment. And taking your smaller piece, attach it to one side of your bag, and voila! You have your paper bag! Feel free to customize and accesorize after this. Be sure to use strong thread however, lest your bag fall apart when carrying a substantial amount.
