Description of Program: Fun DIY project to get the kids excited about going back to school with something personalized


Instructions:

  • Measure about five inches down and draw a line across the bag with a Sharpie.

  • Using the line as a guide, cut your bag with scissors. It should look like this:


  • Apply a strip of tape along the zipper, turn your bag over and wrap it around the back part of your pouch. Make a cut and fold the access over.

  • Add another roll using the same process.

  • You will be left with a small strip of the bag still exposed. Now add a final row of tape but just on the front leaving 1"overhanging on each side.


  • Cut a square out of each corner.


  • You will be left with two tabs.


  • Fold them in. Fold the bottom up.
