Turn a Hoodie Into a Laptop Bag
Hoodies aren't just for wearing – when they wear out their usefulness for your wardrobe, upcycle them into a soft and beloved laptop bag. This easy no-sew project can be made by anyone with a laptop.
Steps
- Lay the old hooded Customize a Sweatshirt face up. Place it front side up on a table, with the hood and arms outstretched.
- Place the laptop width-wise on the chest section of the sweatshirt, just below the neckline.
- Fold the bottom half of the hoodie over the computer and tuck in the sides and edge of the bottom half under the sides of the laptop.
- The bottom half of the hoodie will wrap around the laptop like a cocoon. The laptop should not be visible after tucking the bottom half around it.
- Fold the hood over the top of the covered laptop. Then, slip the laptop into it.
- Flip the laptop over so that the back of the hood is now touching the table.
- Tie the neck of the hoodie to tightly enclose the laptop and secure it.Make sure the knot is tight so the laptop does not fall out.
- Knot the sleeves. Grab the wrists of the sleeves and tie them into a very tight knot to make a carrying strip.
- Sling it over your shoulder and head out and about!
