How to make a Kid's Lunch Tote from a milk jug.

The kiddo's love eating outside and so don't I. I usually pack everyone's lunches up in bread pans but for some reason my crafty mind came up with this little lunch tote from a milk jug.

All I did was cut out a little area in front of the spout with my scissors. Make sure you don't cut out the spout because it makes the greatest little utensil and napkin holder.

Fill it up with their favorite treats. Sometimes they are lucky enough to get something a little special on these days. Today they were lucky enough to get s'mores on a stick. MMM, I say, you gotta make some.


Now all the kiddo's have to do is grab the handle and carry their own lunches outside.

It's a great upcycle project that took about 2 minutes to make. And the kiddo's thought it was so fun to eat out of a milk jug.

Happy picnicking!
