Could you sew the seams up with a sewing machine instead of using a stapler ? I kinda wanna try making one but a very large one that would hold groceries and I want it to be able to withstand the weight of the items that are going to be placed into it. Love this idea though. Thanxs for sharing !!

You definitely don't want to sew over duct tape - it will jam up your sewing machine something awful. But skip the duct tape step, and you're good to go!

I can imagine modifying the dimensions and shape of this and making an awesome trash can for a bedroom. The duct tape can be wiped down but the fabric is much more lovely than a rubber bin!

This is a GREAT idea! One question: Is there any way you can think of to add a pocket or two on the inside? Just curious. Thanks!

I wanted to make a tote out of the Capri Sun juice bags that I've seen. Do you think there is a way to use duct tape with that project instead of fabric? I don't sew at all. Thanks
