Reusable Snack Bags


These little reusable snack bags are environmentally friendly and just plain fun. Who wouldn't want to stash something in these? Carry snacks, tiny toys, personal items, and other important stuff. Handy to toss into a backpack or briefcase.

There's been some discussion about what kinds of materials are safe to use in reusable food bags. Many sources are now saying that the old standbys, oil cloth and vinyl coated fabrics (PUL), release plastic toxins into food. A good lining alternative seems to be rip-stop nylon. It's moisture and grease resistant. I've chosen to use the rip-stop nylon. Use what works for you and your family.

The lining comes in a variety of colors.

The bags are 6" by 6.5", fully lined, no raw edges, and they hold over a cup of snacks. They're machine washable, but most of the time you can just turn them inside out and brush the crumbs off.

These reusable snack bags are based on a tutorial by HaftaCrafta. Depending on the fabric pattern, you can get 2 to 3 outer layers from one fat quarter (a commonly sold piece of fabric that is 18" by 22").
Is someone you know a fan of super heroes?


I made one to take dog treats with me when the dogs and I go for walks or training sessions- I love the fun print!




I made several of the Reusable Snack Bags in the Robot and Super Hero prints  for a child's birthday party as party favors for guests to take home- the kids loved 'em!

I had a few left over and put them in my shop. Come take a look! 


Reusable Snack Bags may have been taken to some of these fun parties~

    I love them all, especially the dog treats one and would love to get one of these for our puppy now. You are so talented and crafty, seriously you should try to sell these on Etsy :)

    Those really are cute and I bet kids would love them -- I can see Amara now scouring her room for things to put in them!

    This would be a best idea for me, haha. I don't like to throw away tons of plastic bags! I'll have to look into these.

    Joy,

    You amaze me at how talented you are. You could easily sell all your things. These snacks bags are adorable. I am thinking they would also make very cute pencil bags for this time of year too.
    I love them! I pinned them twice and tweeted twice. Will share more very soon!

    Thanks for sharing the tutorial! Sounds like a great excuse to get out the sewing machine. I especially love the idea of one for dog treats - I hate having kibble crumbs in my pockets! I'm glad I found this at Motivational Monday today!
