These bags are perfect for so many uses. The small one is ideal for storing items of jewelry. I found it to be the perfect size for my bangles and chunky bracelets. The medium could be for cosmetics or sewing supplies, but is ideal for storing any loose bits and pieces. It's already in use keeping all of the attachments for my husband's hair clippers.
The large size drawstring bag is very versatile. This would make a good project bag, especially for those who enjoy yarn crafts. Mine has already been put to use to hold all of my reels of thread. I love how it opens up nice and wide to make it easy to see what's inside. Any of the sizes would also be ideal as gift bags - eco friendly and reusable, these pretty bags can be used to deliver a gift and then they are a gift in themselves too.
