Domo Kun keychain and grocery bag holder

This Domo Kun travels wherever you go, and spits out a reusable shopping bag when you need it. You will never have to use a plastic bag again with this little fellow by your side, so if you have to make an unexpected stop at the grocery store or come across a shoe sale at the mall, you will be prepared; thus doing your bit for the environment.

Step 1 Materials:

• furry brown fabric - I used a sock, which is nice and stretchy (spandex), so it can expand a bit when you stuff the bag into it.
• Red and white fabric-I used fabric scraps that I had lying around, though felt may be better.
• Thread - brown, white and red, so it blends in with the fabric.
• sewing needle, scissors.
• key chain/or clip -I got mine from a lanyard (you can also get these from a craft store.)
• two beads or buttons for eyes.
• stuffing
• nylon strip (to attach the clip/keychain)
• reusable grocery bag, a nylon one would be ideal because it can be folded to a small size. You could sew one yourself, there are quite a few really great reusable bag instructables.

this is the perfect thing for all my brown felt scraps from a donkey costume. I can't wait to start this!

I'm gonna cheat and gut a Domo-kun plushie. Once I do, I'll post it.

That's a good idea, I was thinking about doing that, buy I couldn't find any small ones in stores where I live.

I found one but it was like 30 dollars. Totally not worth it.

[ChrysN]

Wow, what a ridiculous price.

[NatureBoom21]
