I don't really know what else to call this one! It's actually more like a busy book page than it is like a busy bag. Well... just look!
Ingredients:
grosgrain ribbon (stash)
felt (stash)
zipper (stash)
buckle, carabiner (thrift store)
lock & key, LED flashlight key chain (Dollar Tree)
See? Flashlight! She'll love that. The little LED part on the end actually detaches from the rest of the plastic, tethered with a string that snaps it back into place.
And the lock & key. It's kind of tricky. Hopefully that will inspire persistence, not whining. Time will tell.
I chose a zipper from my stash that has 1.) a large pull, and 2.) stoppers at the top as well as the bottom. These things could have been fixed with some tinkering, but why take the time when I can just pick a better zipper?
The carabiner and the buckle were both on promotional-type lanyards at the thrift store. I just cut the old lanyards off and replaced them with fun ribbon.
I sewed everything to a piece of felt, then sewed that piece of felt to another piece of felt. It kind of folds up like a book, but the lock is so heavy that it's very floppy. So of course I just put it into another pencil pouch!
