I went to the local dollar store and bought a few pencil-case/make-up bags that had pretty colors on them to use. As I have girls and they like rainbows, so flashy colors work well.
I considered sewing them together, but if I sew through the inside, then the two insides will be connected with a common thread, ultimately defeating the purpose of 2 separate bags.
I had tried to use tape to hold them together, but after the first day of sitting on my desk in the design phase, the tape started to peel off. There are a few tricks I know for helping tape stick – heating it with a hairdryer. I tried this to help keep things sticking – but this didn’t help.
Ideally, these bags need to stay together for a while, but this method won’t allow for that.
Again, I made green “Dirty” lettering and blue “Clean” lettering so that they could easily differentiate between the two.
This is very helpful..
Thanks for reading! It helps keep my kids’ masks in order!
This is a good idea for kids! Teachers would appreciate this too!
It has helped keep my kids’ masks in order all year so far! And it’s great bc the masks stay in 2 places, and I haven’t lost a mask yet! (Knock on wood)
Thanks for the great ideas. So far we have been using a laundry/bra bag and all masks go in the bag when we come in the door. It gets run through the washing machine in the evening and masks and and bag are hung to dry for the next day.
What a great idea! After having a constant influx of dirty masks, I took your idea and made a dirty mask bag for the front door! Thanks!
This is a great idea with schools reopening next week! I have been hand washing them all this while. Using a laundry bag to run it in the machine is a helpful tip too 🙂
Thanks for reading! It has been great so far at our house, so we have been doing great! And all the masks stay in one place!
This is an idea that more people need to know about. Perhaps create bags to sell online that people can buy. I didn’t even think of carrying around multiple masks throughout my day but it’s a brilliant idea, especially for children. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! The nice thing about these is that you can use anything for these bags, even ziplock bags! Thanks for reading!
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
I love the pencil case style. They can pick cases that match their personality, making it personal. Another great option is the small bags that are available through Thirty-One. I have a friend that sells their products and we’ve picked up a few for various reasons now.
Any bag will work! Which is the great thing! I used dollar store pencil cases, and when we get bored of them, like you said, we can change the style! I didn’t know that thirty-one sold small bags like this! Thanks for sharing!!
