It is quite impressive and has been a large support in crafting and creating in our space.\r\n\r\nThe paper handled bags have made great canvases for our annual Desk-Or-Treat activity. Here student's were given the opportunity to decorate with festive stickers and draw out their spooky creatures and designs. And later in our year, the drawstring bags will make an excellent end of year gift that will carry their memories for many years to come.
