Beach Bags…

In one of my conversations with Richard and Judith Lang, we talked about collecting plastic at the beach and how it can be difficult due to all the sand. Anyone who has been to a beach knows you can't leave without thousands of little grains in every nook and cranny. My brain got to churning about this issue. I promised Richard and Judith I would come up with some kind of bag specifically for beach gathering.

Here they are! They are made out of vinyl that was donated to Green Bag Lady. The sand will slide right off. And, they have a mesh bottom so any grains that get inside will just keep going back on to the beach!

I had all the supplies on hand and most of them were donated with other fabric. Even the bright orange is also vinyl that was in a donation box. The mesh was a HUGE beach toy bag that has been sitting in my basement for years. It was far too big and bulky to use so it got the axe, I mean scissors…

These are for Richard and Judith
And, while I was at it, I made some for all my other buddies who are so great at keeping our beautiful beaches beautiful. These are for Sara
These are for Danielle that I posted about HERE
And last (but definitely not least) this one is for Harmony
Enjoy everyone, let me know how they work! Teresa

I LOVE these. What a great idea. I would love to have one and use. I hate all the sand staying in the bag. Great work.

Thanks JoAnn. Maybe I'll do a freebie for them someday. I ran out of vinyl though so I'll have to wait for more to come through the donations!

There's a pattern in a new-ish craft book -- I think it's by Maya of Mayamade, but I can't find it now -- to make a 'treasure bag' for kiddos from plastic window screening. I had some on hand and made one for my son. Great for finding treasures on the beach!
