Carry your lunch in style with this fun, reusable take on the classic brown paper lunch bag!

This easy DIY will take just minutes to make! This is a great project for beginner crafters. Or better yet, get your kids involved and make them all a waxed canvas lunch bag for school. This is a fast and fun DIY the whole family will love making together.

With just a few supplies, you can make this classic-looking lunch sack and fill it with all your favorite childhood lunchtime snacks. We used DuraWax™ Heavy Waxed Canvas for our reusable lunch sack. DuraWax Heavy is more structured and holds its shape better than the Light version. Your waxed canvas lunch sack sits up and the top stays rolled just like the lunch sack of your school days. Waxed canvas holds creases and folds beautifully, adding to the brown paper bag look.
