(Easter Event) TerraCycle: Drink Pouch Messenger Bag Review and Giveaway and DIY Project

I was searching for a green, reusable bag that will allow me to carry it like a purse. I love to take walks in the fresh air, and sometimes I find myself walking to a Department store a little less than a mile away, so I needed a bag that was durable, spacey, and had shoulder straps. I found the perfect bag, The Drink Pouch Messenger Bag by TerraCycle ! This bag had it all, shoulder straps, durability, awesome space, and the best of all, its made from everyday recycled products!

I really loved this bag, and use it for many different jobs such as, grocery store trips, diaper bag, lap top carrier, and the girls over night bag to grandma's house.  The Drink Pouch Messenger Bag measures 17.25 " wide X 12" tall X 4.5" deep. ( about 5 pouches wide, 3 pouches tall, and 1 pouch thick).

I would recommend TerraCycle products, they are built strong, and great for the environment and LOOK, they are super stylish!!

Do-It-Yourself Easter Project By TerraCycle: Easter Basket

Time: 20 Minutes

Materials:

Food Wrapper

2 Paper Fasteners

Scissors

Pen or Marker

Clear Tape

Ruler

Hole Punch

Instructions:

1. - Flatten your food wrapper and cut out a 7.5" X 7.5" square.

Then cut a rectangle that is 1" X 7.5" to use as a handle.



Step 1



2. - Punch a hole in each end of the handle .5" in from each end. To get a clean hole punch when punching through the food wrapper, it helps to back the wrapper with a thick piece of paper and punch through both layers.



Step 2



3. - Mark light lines with a pen or marker 2.5" in from each edge, creating a grid. Fold along these lines, creasing the food wrapper.  

Step 3

4. - Cut into the first panel of the two fold lines on the left and right sides of the grid as indicated.



Step 4



5. - To create your basket, fold the cut flaps towards each other so they overlap. You can use a little bit of clear tape to keep it in place. Then fold the top edge of the overlapped pieces down by about .75". Tape in place. Repeat for the other side.



Step 5

   6. - Punch a hole about .5" from the top on each side of the basket. Attach your handle on each side with a paper fastener.

Step 6

7. - To add extra embellishments to your basket, punch holes every .5" around the top edge and weave strips of food wrapper through the holes. Put this Eco-treat to use and fill it up with your favorite goodies!
