Because looking at other people's ideas is awesome fodder for my noggin so shouldn't I share a decent idea that someone else can make perfect? Send me a pic if you make something similar to what I post!
WHO'S THIS "ME"?
I am Lynn. I'm an urban planner by training, and a maker of random items by vocational calling. I do my projects in my apartment in Brooklyn, or on the stoop or roof. If you see a 5' 3 7/8" female breaking concrete blocks out on your street, you probably live on my block.

A more colorful reusable bag…$2
This reusable bag was pretty boring. So I added an iron-on. Hot iron: perfect for kids.
You need:
- U-Create Iron-on
- Permanent markers
- Iron & ironing board
- Light colored reusable bag (the heartier the fabric the better)
Want to see the steps?
Costs = $2:
- U-Create Iron-on = $2
- Everything else = free or already available around the house
How to:
- Doesn’t require much explanation — just draw whatever you want. Sharpies work awesome because they’re bright. From this project, I learned that I should probably have filled more of the surface with color. Next time.
- U-Create Iron-Ons are made by a family company in my home town — hooray! Instructions are included in the kit. But here’s some additional tips: 1) iron the fabric itself first so it’s nice and hot and ready to take the iron-on, 2) iron for a while, at least a minute or more, while moving around that iron — and be sure to get those edges, 3) push hard.
