Make a wrist bag that’s perfect for taking outside to carry explorer gear, art supplies or go on a treasure hunt. There are a few ways to make this bag, some with more sewing and some with less, making it a great project for multiple ages & abilities. This is also a great way to reuse an old shirt that you’ve outgrown but still love.
We love to use this bag to collect rocks. You can print out a guide to rocks & minerals in Missouri from the Department of Natural Resources to take with you here: https://dnr.mo.gov/geology/docs/rocksetbooklet.pdf
