Good, But Be Mindful of Age-Appropriateness and Quality
These canvas bags were adorable for our end-of-year party. We provided fabric markers and everyone got to sign each others' before breaking for the summer. The bags were on the smaller side, certainly more practical for little ones, but we made them work for our middle & high schoolers. The quality was just ok, as some were frayed at the seams, and I can't see these holding up to a lot of use. However, for a cute activity they were just fine - our kids loved decorating and signing them!

Great Project to Fill an Afternoon
We used these bags as primary craft projects for two different groups of kids, ages 6 yrs to 16 yrs. They were a hit with every age group! The bags were a clean white, held up under lots of wet paint, and the acrylic paints didn't puddle or run on the cotton fabric. They girls worked almost 3 hours while the boys worked about1 hour 45 minutes. They need to dry overnight. We put a couple pieces of cardstock paper inside to prevent bleed-through and it had the added benefit of keeping them flat while the kids painted with 1/8 and 1/4 inch brushes. We used undiluted paint. Size-wise, they hold a Bible, but probably not an entire ring binder. We gave the kids pencils, erasers, little notebooks, a storybook, snacks, and a bottle of water, and the bags held it all easily.

Perfect for what I needed
Great item. Only reason why not 5 Star was because some of the bags came with black marks on them and excess thread hanging off. Perfect for treat bags or small kids. Adults or bigger kids can’t wear them.

Nice Bags
I used these to put slippers in for guests. I cut the cords at bottom of bags that would go around the shoulders.

sturdy
Purchased these as a standby to the ones with a print. We did use some and kids enjoyed putting own designs on. We used fabric markers; those worked well for coloring. Kids toted bibles and a craft and any papers from the daily lesson. Took them home and brought them back. No reports of damage from any kids.

Great bags!
These were purchased for an End of Year favor for our first grade class. We wanted something that all the kids could put their names on as a memento. We applied a vinyl iron on with our school mascot and there was plenty of space for 20+ students to write their names with fabric markers. The iron on was easy and adhered well to the canvas. As another review noted, the drawstring is not heat resistant so be careful not to let the iron touch it!
They are on the smaller size but were accurate to the dimensions listed on the site and were fine for 6-7 year olds!

Good for project
Backpacks are fun to decorate, and can carry very lightweight items only. A couple backpacks had issues with drawstrings, but we were able to repair them.

Perfect fit
I bought these bags for a camp to carry their water bottles. I had the kids spray paint them with fabric paint using painters tape to make letters for their name or camp name. I purchased notebooks and they fit perfectly. Some of the heavier water bottles caused the bags to come undone on one side but overall they lasted a week of outdoor hiking!
