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!!

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.
