July 10, 2009 Come craft with us at the Etsy Labs on Monday This week on Monday, July 13, we will be making bags with Bags for the People, a non-profit organization that provides the public with a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. Bags for the People also perform community building workshops and events, like this one, to not only get people to make the switch from plastic to reusable, but to inspire people to take an active and creative role in life. Learn all about Bags for the People and what they do here. We'll have all the materials you'll need to make a bag of your own here at the Etsy Labs. If you have any fabrics or old clothing that you would like to turn into bags, please bring them along. For directions and more info about this event, check out the Storque post.
