Transforming Your 31 Bag

Not a Technology Post BUT Who Doesn’t Like a Good Ol’ Fashion Craft-ivity?

I love my #31bag. Like LOVE LOVE my 31 bag. It's cute, it has my name on it, and I can pack a whole lot of teacher stuff in that puppy! I keep seeing on Pinterest how people are putting in those mini crates and completely transforming their bags into an on-the-go-file-cabinet. I wanted to do this to my bag, but let's face it, my school supply budget was at its limit and I could spend no more! You may be thinking, "Danielle, it's only $4!" And I would reply, "Yeah, but why spend $4, when you can do it for FREE?!" 

Here is what I had at home just laying around taking up space:

1. Flat rate boxes I use to send my sweetie pie packages while he's in Korea. If you don't have any around your house, go pick some up from the post office....they are FREE! 

2. Duck Tape/boxing tape

3. Your 31 Bag, or whatever bag you'd like to transform

Yes, folks. That's all you need to make this project happen!

First, I measured the width of my bag. I cut the sides of my boxes so I could slide them in to get a perfect fit. I secured the new sides together with tape. (I used what I had on hand, but use the clear boxing tape if you've got it). I did this to two boxes. 

Then I cut one side off each box. 

 



I slid them into each other until I got the width just right. I put it inside my bag to test it out :)

And then Voila!

 Final project....I added a little divider there for random things and such.

Hope you enjoyed this Free-Of-Charge craft-ivity!
