Eco Bags

Just In Time For Back To School

These sandwich and snack size bags are made from up cycled chip and bread bags.  It is a simple concept that can make a big economical impact.

Instructions: 

First: randomly poke holes into your bag with a straight pin

Second: lay parchment paper under and on top of your bag.

Third: iron your bag on a low setting from the bottom working your way up to the top

* If using bread bags layer 2 bags onto top of one another for a sturdier bag

Fourth: make a template the approx size you would like your bag to be.

Fifth: fold your bag in half, lay template onto of the bag, and cut around the template

Sixth: cut a strip of velcro the fit on the top inside edge of the bag

Seventh: sew the velcro across the to inside edge

Finally: sew the sides together

 

Now enjoy your inexpensive upcycled eco-friendly bag. These bags are sure to be the talk of the lunch table.

* another tip is when your bag finally gives way, take the velcro out and reuse it in the next bag you make.
