Car Trash Bag

I have been wanting a garbage container for the van and though my husband's idea of just putting a little trash can in there was very practical, I hoped to create something a little more pretty. I found this idea this morning:

I liked how the bag was made from things that were sitting in my closet anyway, because I didn't have to buy oilcloth or something. The outer fabric is an old shirt, the inner lining fabric is from a suit jacket my hubby had that the sleeves were cut off of (don't know why!) and the sour cream container and grocery bag were headed for recycling anyway! And I really liked how the thing is 'lined' with a disposable grocery bag! That makes cleanup really easy later!
Now I just have to get the family to use it! :)

I see these could be made out of a shirt sleeve of an old shirt, or a jeans leg...so cool!

I'm still thinking about this...you could use two shirt sleeves, one as the outside, the other as the liner...I just love recycling like that.

A shirt sleeve is a great idea. I didn't mention in the post, but I just hung it on the arm of the front passenger seat and scooted it all the way back. That way front seat and back seats can reach it. It's awesome!
