5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!! June 2, 2012

I must say for someone who has never really had an interest in craft books this one has me hooked! The book itself is put together wonderfully, the pictures and step-by-step instructions make this environment friendly project so easy to do! Plus it's such a great summer activity to do with your kids or even by yourself, beingin a big family with lots of kids running around I know that Capri Suns are a MUST for hot summer days! So now instead of just having the empty pouches lying around the pool or throwing tons of them in the garbage, I can encourage the kids to save them and then in a few weeks we will have a fun project to do together! I give this book 5 stars it is for sure worth every penny! Couldn't have been more pleased!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Green Idea for Making Your Own Bags! June 17, 2012

By Zan's Mama

Format:Kindle Edition

This is a lovely selection of patterns and ideas for making bags out of reusable materials, especially fun for kids to help make the type of grocery bags that many families use regularly. What pride and sense of accomplishment kids can have making these with their families ... and after that who knows what they will create!

There is more in this book then we expected. Multiple bags all cool and easy to make, from a large one to a snack pack. The step by step instructions are well illustrated and easy to understand. We are now soliciting all of our friends and neighbors for their juice pouches so can make more bags. What a great idea for the project or craft days.
