How to make a bag from coffee bags – Upcycling plastic coffee bags

By letter2self on May 6, 2023



Squares woven out of coffee bags can be used to make all kinds of baskets and bags. All you need to connect them is string (such as a gift wrapping string) and a needle or stick to thread the string through the hinges formed at the edges of the squares. Stunning bags and baskets woven out of coffee bags are unique, practical and durable. And of course a great way to recycle used coffee bags!

For the weaving you need:
– empty coffee bags (at least 56)
– paper or cardboard
– a pen
– scissors
– clothespins or other clips
– durable wooden sticks or knitting needles

To join woven pieces, you need:
– string (e.g. gift wrapping string)
– a needle
– scissors
– ribbon for handles (2-2,5m)
– cord tor the top edge (~1,2m)

The size of the template is 15,2 cm x 7 cm.
The width of a folded strip is 2,4 cm
You need 168 strips for the project, which is 56 coffee bags, if you are able to cut 3/coffee bag.

The size of the bag is 30x30x15cm.
