I made a cute matching pencil bag for mine. I like this Mandala coloring book and this whimsical Nature Drawing one. So I think I’d rather call this a “Me-Time Tote.” Here’s what I keep on hand in my tote. The point was to keep their little hands and minds busy so they wouldn’t make trouble.įor moms, the point is really to keep us from being too busy. I actually don’t love the term “busy bag.” I mean, it made sense for my toddlers because they were always so… busy. Now you’re ready to fill it with fun stuff! What’s in my Busy Bag Then throw your bag in the dryer for a few minutes to help set the color. Then add 1/2 cup salt and dissolve.įinally, give your bag a good rinse with cold water until the water comes out clear. Basically, fill your bucket with a gallon or so of the hottest water your faucet will produce. If you’re using two colors, you can make two dye baths simultaneously, or just use one bucket and make one color and then the other.įirst prepare your dye baths, following the instructions on the dye bottle or box.

This just helps set the dye in the fabric. If you use more than one color, keep in mind that they may run together so pick colors that mix well.

Here’s how to make a fun and easy dip-dyed tote bag. Of course any tote bag will work, but why not decorate your own bag? I’m obsessed with dip-dying, as evidenced by my daughter’s dip-dyed curtains.

I have nothing better to do than sit in a stuffy room full of other high-achiever parents, listening to what college their 5 year old will attend. Now that it’s back to school time, we’re back on our usual schedule which means lots of sitting at piano lessons, watching gymnastics class, or waiting in the Dr’s office. Now that the kids are older, I find it’s usually me who needs to be kept occupied during their activities so I made myself a Mom’s Busy Bag, full of all the things I like to spend time on while waiting. The prices were affordable (especially for such an eco-friendly product) and the quality is absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend them highly enough.When my kids were toddlers I made them “busy bags” to keep in the car in case we ended up in waiting rooms or places where I needed to keep them quietly occupied. I went with their Recycled Cotton/PET Blend 10 for my tote bags. I was connected directly with one of their sales reps, Meagan, who was quick to get back to me and really great about answering my questions and making sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. The process of ordering, from initially reaching out to having the tote bags in hand was wonderful.
