In January we went to Utah for a fun but quick visit. My son was packing his own carry on bag (soo nice they can all do this themselves now) and I noticed that he had thrown a bunch of legos in the bottom of the bag.
I gave him a ziploc bag to keep his legos in, then thought about how many ziplocs we’ve gone though in the past year for the sole purpose of toting legos. I thought I’d try to make him a more permanent solution.
So I gathered a zipper, a clear shower curtain & some fun foam and made him a little pouch to carry his legos.
I will say, that sewing on the fun foam was NOT as easy as it seemed in my mind. But I did find a little trick that made it a bit easier.
To make the pouch you will need:

Clever! I know how fun stepping on legos is…and having a bag to keep them in is great.

Love it! I would never have thought about using craft foam to create the lettering!

Great idea! Now if I can just convince my daughter to clean up her lego “museum” other wise known as legos all over her floor 🙂

Great idea and a shower curtain has so much yardage and heavier plastic. Can see lots of uses for these bags.

Fun bag, although I’m laughing…we have so very many legos, we’d need a jumbo sized bag (or perhaps just a wheel barrow with the cute lettering. Still, to travel with a small batch. I’m thinking adding a little handle to it would be nice. Just pondering how or where that could work. Cute cute cute!

I love the idea of using a shower curtain! Can someone explain what scratch paper is? It’s not a term I’m familiar with. Thanks!

Completely LOVE it! I’ve been trying to decide how to make some re-usable sandwich bags – now I know! Thanks!
