Make Your Own Sling Pack on the Cheap

In general, bags require quite a bit of effort and know-how to make well. A sling pack, on the other hand, isn't terribly difficult and is really one of the cooler packs you can put on your back. Instructables user linrodann put together a simple set of instructions for making your own on the cheap.

Linrodann calls it a hobo bag, but it looks just like any standard sling pack. The project only requires your fabric of choice, standard sewing materials, and the included template. The downside to the project is that you have to tie the bag to secure it to your body, but the addition of a velcro strap, a button, or a clasp can easily solve that problem.

Check out linrodann's full post on Instructables for the detailed how-to.
