Here is a fun project to use up all those brown lunch bags you have leftover from other projects. These have been around for awhile and there are several ways to make these, but we have provided the measurements for this particular one. This uses a standard brown lunch bag. You may have to alter the measurements for a different bag.
We have used Basic Black card stock and Cast-a-Spell DSP. This bag has two pieces of ribbon, black and pumpkin, for the handle but have fun finding other handles - pipe cleaners, wire with beads, etc.
Here are the three main pieces used to make this project. The back cover with flap measures 5-1/2" x 6-1/4", scored at 2". The front card stock piece measures 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". The lunch bag is cut down to 4-1/8" in height. As you can see, this one uses velcro as the closure.
Love this idea! Clever way to disguise the sack, but it would hold so much. I have a ton of those for the little sack albums. I definitely will use some for this idea. Thanks for sharing!
