A “Special Ingredient” Makes It Snap Open and Closed!

This cute little bag has a special feature that’s not apparent at first glance. Pull the triangular tabs and it snaps open. A little pressure and it snaps shut. That makes this clever bag useful for so many things.

Pieces of a metal measuring tape from the hardware store provide the snap action. Once you have those the bag is very easy to construct.

Plus, it can be made in many sizes. Once you see how it goes together you can easily size it up or down.

You also can quilt the layers together or leave them plain, and choose a box bottom so the bag will stand up or leave it flat. Give the bag whatever personality you want through fabric choices.
