Using thick cotton material, and a nylon/cotton cord for the drawstring, these cost less than $1 to make. And if they weren't used a toiletry bags, they will no doubt be used for something else and can be made with any kind of hard wearing material. Cut material into pieces that are around 75cm long and 30cm wide. Fold in half (right side out) and sew up sides. Turn inside out and sew up sides again - this creates strong seams that wont fray. While still inside out, turn over a 1.5cm hem, wide enough to thread cord through. Leave a 1cm gap on one side for cord to enter/leave. Thread cord through with safety pin attached to one end (easier to thread) and knot ends together. Burn ends of cord with lighter/match to seal. Turn bag right side out and trim off any extra pieces of cotton. DRAWSTRING BAGS
