Buy a yard of material off a market and you can make them very cheaply. I made some for people on here, some more expensive because of the choice of material, but still good value and personal too,

I use these, and the price is fantastic, I use them for toy storage and put a photo in the plastic sleeve.

Thanks! I should make them myself but I just don't have time for anything extra at the moment! I childmind from 6.45am - 6.30pm most days and then do websites etc. in the evenings/weekends and that on top of normal household duties, paperwork etc, I just won't get round to it for a while and I want them soon. I've just bought brand new towels and flannels and just need the bags now.

So you make them then? Bit confused as you say that and then you've linked what you say you use??? Sorry if it's obvious, been up since 6am and was on the champers last night so not quite with it!

I admit those on the link are great, just wasn't planning to spend so much at this stage as don't need 6 (only need 3 at the moment).

I really need to wake myself up, got baby arriving at 10.30am and she's here til 7pm!!

Thanks

I would make them myself, out of some cheap calico and then let your mindee 'decorate' it with fabric paint. Hobbycraft sell fabric paint at about £1.50 a bottle and just got my mindee to decorate his own apron we made for cooking. cost about £5.00 for two aprons and paint and we have enough for two more aprons and oodles of paint left over.

I make pretty ones for the mindies, the ones on the website are stronger for toys, iee wooden bricks etc.

I made the mindies flower fairy material ones with pink cord
