What could possibly be a more appropriate school lunch container than this Blackboard Lunchbag? Granted, grownups will probably want to use it too, but in a classroom setting, it is definitely second to none. What is even better is that the Blackboard Lunchbag is actually a do-it-yourself project, which means that just about anyone can have one of their own in a jiffy.
Conceived and created by Linda Facci, Creative Director for the Magnolia Bakery chain, the Blackboard Lunchbag was inspired by her discovery of blackboard oilcloth, which is an easy-to-clean, versatile fabric that can even be written and doodled on with chalk. With just as easy-to-follow instructions, Facci sets out to help moms and dads make their own Blackboard Lunchbag for their back-to-school kids.
