If you have a dog, you will surely have to deal with it very often. The sack, or rather the "bustone" par excellence with which dog food is packaged once it has been emptied of the precious food, often you do not know where to throw it. In theory, in most municipalities it is destined to end up in the plastic container, but taking care to eliminate any paper parts and food residues that very often get stuck inside. This will promote proper recycling.

If you have a dog, you will surely have to deal with it very often. The sack, or rather the "bustone" par excellence with which the food for dogs once emptied of the precious food, often you don't know where to throw them. In theory, in most municipalities it is destined to end up in the plastic container, but taking care to eliminate any paper parts and food residues that very often get stuck inside. This will promote proper recycling.
But these "bustoni" for their particular resistance lend themselves particularly well to other uses. The tutorial we found on this American blog is a valid example for a creative and very chic recycling of the food packaging of our beloved 4-legged friend which, through a little patience, allows us to obtain a performing and unique beach bag, also usable for long-lasting grocery shopping. Making it is not too difficult and, in addition to being environmentally sustainable, it is very resistant given the consistency of the material used.
The first thing to do is to take care of block the corners, also through clothespins, as seen in the figure. This must be done by taking the appropriate measurement where the first cut will then take place (photo 1).
At this point rflip the bag of 6/7 centimeters, above the base. Also in this case the photo below will help you to understand better (photo 2).
Once this is done you just have to take the upper part, cut it into two parts in such a way as to create two perfectly equal parts. This end will, in fact, be used to be the handles of your bag. To apply them, however, you must have a little familiarity with the sewing machine (photo 3).
Nothing transcendental, but a minimum of experience is required. In fact, you have to sew a sort of square both on one side and on the other side, thus creating two real handles. This image will certainly clear up any precious doubts (photo 5)!
Now you just have to decide which use to make it do. A convenient shopping bag, use it at the market or as a very special beach bag for your child's games? The more you have, the more you put!
A necessary consideration, however, is to wash it with warm soapy water before starting the nice DIY job. Your dog's food will also be delicious and nutritious, but most of the time it smells incredibly little noticeable!
