Make a DIY Laundry Bag for the Dorm Photo by Jackie Burrell
Packing up your kid for the big move to college? Send her off in style - or at least ready to tackle the dorm laundromat without leaving a trail of dirty socks - with this DIY Dorm Laundry Bag. This is the simplest sort of drawstring bag, a yard-long swath of fabric, folded in half, with a lined top and a few embellishments to make it adorable ... or manly.

P.S. Adorning these bags with fusible fabric pieces is a favorite craft activity at high school Grad Nights and graduation parties too. Find more tips for doing this project for 10 to 400 kids at the end of the basic instructions!
