Check out Bread for the City - (the largest pantry in DC, offering free food to thousands of low-income families)'s Reusable Bag Campaign: http://breadforthecity.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-bags-please.html
They take donations by mail.

U know the ones where they have cardboard and only fold in half. Also an idea for the sides if fairly wide--make a can holder like those can-coolers you buy or get for samples, that fold kind of flat. This material is great for that, just hold it length wise, fold crosswise for the bottom, and copy the notched edges...sew up the sides.. see next post

Especially if I plan to keep them forever; I've got every issue of MSL since February 1992 and they're all in great condition. One of my pet peeves is when someone looks through one of my magazines and puts that big v-shaped ding in the pages due to the way they're holding it and flipping the pages. And after it made it safely through the mail or I picked the best copy from a newsstand! This sleeve is an incredibly simple and great way to protect mags in transit.

A mini for my everyday food mag will need a bag 2.

Love you ideas, they always inspire me!

This project is improving already!

Do you have any ideas on making a closure for the bag to keep the magazines from falling out?
