Tutorial: Back-to-School Snack Totes

This little bag is just big enough to hold a small snack for your child to eat during school snack time or perhaps at recess. Autie from iCandy Handmade shares a tutorial showing how to make one. There’s a zipper across the top, and a short handle to make it easy to grab it up. Fill it with a small bottle of water and a granola bar (as she shows), or perhaps an apple and a bag of Goldfish.
