Duct Tape No-Sew Tote

Step 4 Cut Handle Opening

Now you're going to mark where the opening for your handle will be. In this instance, I made a 4"x1" opening, centered near the top. This is how:

• Fold the fabric in half, party sides together, to mark the center on the tape, 1 ¹/₂" down from the top.
• Draw a line 2" to each side of this mark, and 1"down on each side. Finish the box by drawing the bottom line.
• Mark a line horizontally across the center of the box.
• Make a mark ³/₄" in from each side on this line.
• Draw diagonal lines from the corners to these marks.
• Repeat on other end.

These are your new cutting lines.

_{If you ever have sewn, you may recognize how much these look like welt pockets or bound buttonholes.}
