See more » VHS Tape Sling Bag Now here is the same bag with some red fun fur added This little sling bag is crocheted using old VHS tape. It’s a great way to recycle those old VHS tapes that you may have stashed away and you don’t know what to do with. If you haven’t read my blog about how to use VHS tape to crochet click here for the link. It will explain how the whole process works so you too can crochet with VHS tape. Next I used a thrift store button for a closure but my sling bag just needed something more. I had a bit of red fun fur and thought it just might be the answer. What do you think? Should I add more along the bottom edge? I conducted a recent poll and many people liked the bag without the fun fur. You can embellish the bag if you want. The complete free pattern is below. Enjoy this recycled bag project! _________________________________________________________________ Crocheted VHS Tape Sling Bag Pattern Purse measures 8 inches wide and 8” long.
