2. Dense rectangular cardboard measuring approximately 300x150 mm, which is then divided into 2 parts.
3. Connecting materials - stapler and glue.
4. Spunbond - fabric material, sold in any hardware store. It is necessary to choose a density in the segment of at least 60-80 g / m.

Phased work

It is possible to make a functional, high-quality and reusable bag for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands in almost 20-30 minutes if all the necessary material is available. So, the stages of work will look like this:

1. Spunbond size of about 1-1.5 m folded in 2 times (in half). So the bag for a vacuum cleaner will be denser and will not miss even the smallest garbage.
2. The edges of the folded material are folded, leaving one “entrance”, glued and fastened with a stapler in steps of 2-3 mm.
3. The resulting bag is turned inside out in order to hide the stapler brackets inside the bag.
4. A small cardboard of 2-3 mm thick is taken, and with the help of an ordinary pencil it will be necessary to carefully draw the corresponding diameter of the inlet of the vacuum cleaner being repaired.Such cartons with holes, to which you will definitely need to add a few millimeters for the bore diameter, should be 2 pieces (the same).
   

5. The cartons are cut, and then each is processed on one side in large quantities with glue.
6. One rectangular glued cardboard through the open edge of the bag is glued from the inside, while the other is glued onto it, but from the outside.
7. Using scissors, cut the holes for the nozzle in the cartons in such a way that an "asterisk" is obtained. For more reliable fixation, the cardboard around the perimeter is additionally processed with a stapler.
8. The open edge of the bag is wrapped inside and stitched or fastened with straps, and you can also purchase a special device for hermetic closure of the bag (plastic clip) or use the old one, which will have to remain from the outdated dust bag kit.

Other recommendations

To date, there are a huge number of options to make a bag for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands, the only difference is what material and technology to choose.It can be a product of one-time use, and durable reusable use. For example, instead of sizing and bonding with the help of a stapler, the edges of a homemade bag can be easily stitched.

For a reusable use, the edge that remains open is treated with a velcro or zipper with large teeth, so that the fastener does not hurt when removing debris from the dust collector.

The material for the bag can serve not only spunbond, but also a piece from the old leg of jeans or trousers with intact thick fabric. To eliminate the problem with a weak plastic frame (pinch) and create a tightness in the bag for collecting dust and debris from a vacuum cleaner, you can use a regular clerical clip.

Quickly and efficiently remove debris from the bag for a vacuum cleaner, you can use old nylon pantyhose. A small piece of pantyhose is taken and at one end drawn into a knot, and then put into the bag. When the dust collector is full, all debris and dust will be collected on this piece of nylon cloth, which as a result is very easily and simply removed from the bag without unpleasant shaking of dust.

Thus, making a bag for a vacuum cleaner with your own hands is easy. The main thing is to decide which material is best suited for your vacuum cleaner to be repaired, acquire the necessary set of tools, select the manufacturing technology and boldly proceed with the design.
