Director Creating Reusable Grocery Bags with Business Card Pockets

[cheftiffany]

ok I know I'm a little behind but I finally remembered to take my reusable bags with me this morning when I went to the grocery store. I love them!!:candyheart: We have always recycled the plastic bags so just haven't switched over yet. What would have taken at least 7 plastic bags only took 4 of the resuable. Yes they were a little heavy but way less trips back and forth to the car.

I remember seeing somewhere that someone had sewed a pocket into it so that they could hold business cards and then when they needed them they were there and when their hosts had them they could give out your info. I can't find the thread on that anywhere. Maybe I heard it from somewhere else but did anyone do this? How did you do it? Is there some premade pocket thing I can go buy then attach to the inside? I can sew and am sortof crafty so I would like to do this. I have a fair in a couple of weeks but wanted to get a head start on it now.

Thanks

Walmart carries bolts of clear vinyl in the craft section. You can buy it in any length you want, just like fabric. It comes in different thicknesses. I bet it would work to buy the heaviest choice, cut it a little bigger than a business card and sew it to the bag.

I use a piece of a thinner vinyl as a cover to my table cloth so it stays clean for several shows!

When I gave them away at my Power Cooking Workshop, I had my business card laminated at Office Max (discount!) in a luggage tag. I attached it to the bag so they would have my info if someone approached them.

Great Idea! I am so cheap I just wrote my name and phone # right on the bag, I have been giving them out like crazy, I keep hoping to see them out and about!

I use a white paint pen and write my info on th eback side of the bag. That way it won't get lost.

Too funny. But on one of the bags you can see all but one number. That would be pretty easy to figure (only 10 calls at max) so you probably want to fix that too.

...oh wait, are the first 3 #'s the area code?

yes, it's the area code - we have 10-digit dialing in Atlanta - you had me nervous for a sec.
