I love this idea. I am just watching this for now. Today I was loving my green baggu and thinking how great it would be to trade baggus with other people who have them, since they are sold as sets of 6 all in one color.

I don't know if this is the one you saw, RandysCricket organized http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/52290. Really fun.

crochetjunkie 02/18/2010 #

The walmart bags tend to be the ones most people have already.

badandknowsit2 02/18/2010 #

madremia 02/18/2010 #

Thank you merlainne. Check out the edit above.

HippieChick-also check out edit about newbies.

merlainne 02/18/2010 #

Did you mean to say it should be a new bag?

madremia 02/18/2010 #

The bag does not need to be new; it can be handmade, used (but in good condition), or new. Please sent something you would like to receive.

Hi! May i know what is Walmart bag? How it look like?

panda1957 02/20/2010 #

I got luck one day at local thrift shop and they had all kinds of department store and gorcery store bags for a quarter. So I purchased them and upcycled with decorative fabric and pockets even those old walmart bags. If you check out my profile on craftster you can see a picture...with cat on the front...sorry not pic of the back with pocket.

@mikeyoki Here are the Walmart bags:

panda1957 02/28/2010 #

Craftsters has been updating. Sorry folks. I will tell you what I did, I took fabric and appliqued it to the bags like above. All it did is cover up the writing. You can cover the whole side and put pockets on the outside or inside. I will try to put them on flicker.

www.craftster.org -I use the name panda...with the same avatar as here. Thank you for letting me know.

Can I please please please say that I would much rather have a store-bought bag than a handmade one? I'm just not an arts&crafts-person, and I'd hate for someone to waste all that effort and creativity on me. I love the idea of this swap, though. Now if only I could remember to bring one of my countless grocery bags with me when I go to the supermarket...

honeysucklescafe 03/ 1/2010 #

oh yeah catweazle...made me smile because i never ever bring them with me either...i need to leave them in the car or something

MsMarvel 03/ 1/2010 #

If you have access to the store Forever 21 they have some cute ones!!! :)

honeysucklescafe 03/ 1/2010 #

I got some cute ones for my kids at the disney store, but they are falling apart after one month of use. Publix bags are really durable.
