Make | Summer Scraps Belt Bag Template

David Parker May 21, 2025

Looking for the template to make our bag from the June issue? You’re in the right place

You can make the bag pictured above from a selection of material scraps using the instructions and kit list from our Weekend Project in our June issue. But first you’ll need the template for the bag strap tabs (the orange pieces connecting the bag to the strap) which you can click to print below and then cut out.

Click here to download the bag tab template

You can find all the instructions to make this belt bag, as well as a matching lanyard in our June issue. And look out for a similar project to make a key fob on our blog soon!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
