Green... it's the New Black!

Once upon a time, in a land not too far down the 91 freeway, there was a middle school taking their state tests. Hundreds of students were given snack and juice pouches to enjoy during the breaks, in hopes of keeping them focused. The End.
Wait, what???? The end?? What happened to all those juice pouches you ask? Well, a lovely lady who worked in the school's office (a.k.a. my mom!) knew I had been making juice pouch tote bags from pouches we had been saving. So, she and her office friends collected hundreds of these used juice pouches for me, saving me tons of money and time in my recycling efforts! I graciously accepted these little gems, laundered them, dried them, categorized them by color and then stored them. And stored them. And stored them. Until a light bulb went off! 10 minutes later, the newly upcycled juice pouch reusable baggie was born!
So... If you're looking for even more eco-friendly ways to pack your snacks and lunches, check out these upcycled juice pouch reusable baggies! Available in a handful of "flavors", these pouches make packed lunch fun! They are constructed with used juice pouches, thread and a tab of velcro... that's it! Simply pack them up, enjoy the snack, shake or wash them out with a little dish soap and air dry. Enjoy!
