Reusable Pretty Zip Lock bag
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

So there was a zip lock bag project on this site that inspired me to think of this. The other project didn't use real zip lock bags. I decided that a reusable sandwich bag would be cute and inspire me to re-use it all the time. well see.

    Pin both sides right above the ridged lines so that it zip's together later.

This is fantabulous!! I really hate using a zip lock bag once, so when I put my son's favorite cereal in one in the morning and he munches while waiting on the bus, hopefully this will encourage his teacher to send it back instead of throwing it away.

That's excellent; I was recently trying to think out how to do this exact thing! Do you wash and dry these, or do you clean them some other way?
