Tutorial: Reversible clean/dirty utensil bag

Steph from The Silly Pearl had been using plastic baggies to carry child-sized eating utensils when she went out to eat with her girls, but she wanted a less wasteful solution. Enter the reversible reusable clean/dirty bag. She shares a tutorial showing how she made it. The fold-over flap is labeled “clean” on one side, and “dirty” on the other. The utensils start out in the bag on the “clean” side. After they’re used, just flip the bag inside out to get the “dirty” label and drop them in there. Brilliant!! Get the tutorial.
