Impressive recycled truck tarp bags vol.2: DIY!

October 9, 2006

You may remember me writing about these rather cool bags. They’ve been around a long long time and they’re good, but they are rather expensive. I’d like one , but what could be better than making your own? DIY is punk as fuck. And it costs less!

Maxmized Minutae’s tutorial shows you how to DIY a courier bag for under five dollars (!) with salvaged tarp, buckles and a bit of shop-bought velcro. He got the instructons from eeio (see below).

These are pictures from the first bag he made. Click the link above to see an even better one.
