Oh I wish I'd seen these when my two boys were younger! They are a little too grown up for them now 🙁 however - I am most definitely not too grown up to make and use them :)!

I am a backpack lover and may have to try my hand at making one of these! I am always afraid that my haul would ruin it! I think if I use cotton it would be sturdier though.
Tamara Kelly says
Lining it would help too! 🙂

If you don't have someone to make them for, donate them to a family you know, a church or school...
