Free & Fun

Do you have some bags or pouches with company logos
as the main design?


Take for instance this pouch from an airline.

It came with a lanyard and inside, a pair of socks,
mints, toothbrush & toothpaste.


I wanted to use the pouch again, so I thought,

"Time for some blah to Tada!" magic.


I covered the logo with a row of multicolored buttons.

Then I replaced the lanyard with a shorter ribbon
that can go around my wrist.

Now the free bag is also a fun bag! I'll use it to hold my keys, some cash & a cellphone for quick trips to the supermarket. I can store a camera or iPod in it, too.

Wishing you a Tada! Tuesday!

  1. great idea claire! my parents collect these kinds of random pouches and try their best to re-use them instead of throwing them all out, but now with this idea, they'll look better than having some logo on it. :)
