In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to rely on single-use plastic bags for our snacks and lunches. However, these bags are a major source of waste and pollution. They end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose, or they pollute our oceans, harming marine life.

The good news is that there's a simple solution to this problem: reusable snack bags. Reusable snack bags are a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bags. They're made from durable materials, such as cotton or nylon, and they can be washed and reused over and over again.

Materials

To make your own reusable snack bags, you will need the following materials:

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own reusable snack bags:

Cut two pieces of fabric to the desired size of your snack bag. The size of the bag will depend on what you plan to use it for. For example, if you're planning to use it for sandwiches, you'll need a larger bag than if you're planning to use it for snacks.
Place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning.
Turn the bag right side out and press the seams flat with an iron (optional).
Topstitch around the edges of the bag to secure the seams.
Fold the top of the bag down twice and sew a line across the top to create a casing for the drawstring.
Cut a piece of cord or ribbon to the desired length for the drawstring and thread it through the casing.
Tie the ends of the drawstring together and your reusable snack bag is complete!

Use a variety of fabrics to create unique and stylish snack bags.
Add a lining to your snack bags to make them more durable.
Embroider or appliqué designs onto your snack bags to personalize them.
