Youth Nature Series: Craft and Print a Tote-ally Sustainable Tote Bag

In this workshop we will be teaching about the importance of sustainability and waste-reduction by creating fun and useful tote-bags out of up-cycled used T-shirts. No sewing or special tools required! Once the bags are made, participants will have the chance to decorate and customize them with block print stamps. Participants should bring a used T-shirt they’d like to convert into a tote bag (some extra shirts will be available as well).
