Last week we took apart a moving box, got out painter's tape, mixed up some tempura paints (to be really permanent, acrylic paint would be a better choice - I don't plan on washing the finished result much but it is still washable if need be!), got out some scrap unbleached canvas fabric, and let our creative juices flow!

Initially, I planned to make zippered pouches but I didn't have the zippers I thought I had laying around so I went for a simple drawstring bag instead with natural cotton ribbon.
 |
| The perfect little pouch for collecting treasures. |
A fun way to display artwork and it is functional!

| Twigs. Stones. Leaves. |
Using a fabric marker write child's name or initials on the bottom with the date!
 |
| The stiffness of the painted canvas plus the boxed corners help the bag stand on its own. |
Use it as an activity bag for child to put toys in for a rode trip. Whatever fits in the bag, may come on the trip!
 |
| The perfect size. |
That is beautiful and creative and such a wonderful keepsake for the future! I absolutely love it!
