So many great ideas! I wish I had a week to try them all, but I need to pick one and make several for teachers. I agree that the mini lunch sack would be great!

I'd love to make the zippered school supplies case but I can't get to it. I tried to right click on the picture and on the link to open in a new tab but I just redirected me to this page. Odd.
