While living in Istanbul and Izmir, we we would buy jugs of water that would hold 5-10liters of water. Afterwards we would always have the jugs left over, and I have always been looking for ways to upcycle them.
A few months ago I found this pattern on YouTube:

Honestly, the market bag didn't work for me, but I found that the bag perfectly held one of the water bottles I had left over. I cut the bottoms off a few of the jugs and used the same pattern, just modifying it to fit the jugs. I simply stopped the market bag pattern where my containers stopped. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
