I was wandering around one of my favorite stores and found this great zipper storage pouch! This zipper pouch measures 12 inches long by 15 inches wide and can expand to about 2-3 inches when zippered. It's a great size to use for a variety of items.
So, I thought to myself, "Self, how many ways can I use a pouch this big?" This is what I came up with. Enjoy!
8 Easy Ways to Use a Zipper Storage Pouch
Store Your School Textbooks in Pouch
Idea 1: Get several of the pouches and use one for each subject. Label the subject on each bag and put it in your locker when you do not need it. If you are looking for more back to school ideas, visit our posts here.

Idea 2: Store small loose toys in the pouch. With the zipper, it will keep everything in one place and will never spill out unless the pouch opens, that is. Feel free to visit our 29 Days Small Items Big Clutter Challenge for more ideas on things you can store in the pouch.

Red Zipper Pink Soft Plastic Bag B4 Paper File Holder
I, too, am a fan of zippered pouches! Mine are a little different...poly zip, only 10X13, expand to an inch. I use them to corral papers pertaining to individual projects. Kinda like a manila folder, but you can see in and they can't fall out. I'm curious about yours, though. Are they available online? Also love the larger Ziploc bags, but can't always find them.
I found a red one on Amazon. I updated the post with the link. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
