The "Quick" Tote Bag
Crochet Pattern And Video
By Sara Sach Of Sara Sach Crochet

The Quick Tote Bag is designed using a 20 ounce
Nestle Quick container, and it is super quick
to stitch up. So, I called It The "Quick Tote Bag".
My husband was making himself some
chocolate milk, his favorite drink of choice,
And finished the last of the Quick milk powder.
He asked if I wanted the container.
I immediately said yes, and the idea to
make a small tote bag with it came to my mind.
The book rings to hold the lid onto the
container is optional. You do not even have
to use the lid. Although I really like the
lid for keeping things safe and dry inside.
I attached 2 book rings I purchased at Walmart.
I found them by the paper clips.
I just "drilled" small holes with my
small had drill and slid the rings on.
The container measures 6.5 inches tall
X 15 inches around and 2.5 inches deep.
I think it's perfect size for everyday use, as well as,
a great trip bag. It will fit your phone, wallet, and
still have room for your keys and lipstick.
Please note, you do not have to use the quick
container, that bag will still work great without it.
