Pack of 6-6 oz. Cotton Canvas Drawstring Bag 10"w x 14"H Color natural CarryGreen Bags

After a long search among Amazon's offerings, I found these perfect soft cotton bags with a drawstring with substance. They have at least three types of uses, which they do quite well. I brought them to hold time keeping glasses, which have the characteristic hourglass shape, in a wooden frame, which means that both the wooden and glass parts are fragile, and the glass can attract finger prints like honey attracts flies. I can store and transport them in the bags with a soft buffer between them and the world. I can also pack them in a satchel with no fear of their being scratched. I originally used bags like this, made by my mother, to pack stuff in my Boy Scout pack, to separate toiletries from socks, for example. I can also imagine that they would be great for packing away things used once a year. They would take up less room than the original cardboard box and keep them away from dust and must. My only caveat is that the excellently thick rope drawstrings can become unknotted a bit too easily. On the other hand, you don't want to make that knot permanent, because you may be inclined to replace the rope with colored ribbon, to signal what is in the bag.

These bags are just the right size to put my homemade bread in for gifts. I shy away from plastic as much as possible and it is so difficult to find the proper sizes of paper bags for bread and I came across these while searching for those same paper bags. I even milled some flour for a friend and put it in these wonderful bags. The uses for them are legion... They don't have any strange smells and are very well made and extremely strong.

Decent quality bags made in India, and the sewing is pretty well done. The drawstrings appear to be a braided cotton cord and they draw smoothly. The fabric (as indicated by the 6 oz weight, that's theoretically 6 oz/yard) is lightweight, perhaps too lightweight for the term canvas, which usually signifies a tightly-woven cloth. This unbleached cotton fabric appears to be a double-filled, but very open (loose) weave. It's more of a muslin in my opinion, but seems sturdy enough for what it is. Unless you're looking specifically for a tightly-woven duck canvas for something like a tent-stake bag, or something with a bit of water-resistance, these are good serviceable cotton bags. I'm docking two stars for quality control in that I received only 5 bags in what was labeled a pack of 6.

Order arrive s expeted. Excellent quality bags; sturdy. Just what I needed to gift a small bottle of wine with Lolita wne glass. There was room to spare. I like that the outside was blank canvas for whatever embellshments you choose. For me, I used a christmas holiday stamp with fabric dye. It is a versatile gift bg for any occasion.

I needed something to tie down my outdoor canopy. After reading the reviews of complete solutions, I decided to buy these and fill them with pea gravel. I use a bungee cord (12") to wrap around the bag and the canopy leg. Then I use a nylon rope to attach the draw strings to the canopy frame.

I used these to create "money" bags for my son's Lego City birthday party. They were an enormous hit! Everyone was clamoring to learn where I found them. Thank you Pinterest!

Very nice bags. As described. However, if you're looking for something more durable, step up to at least 8 ounce cotton canvas. No complaints with these bags though.

These bags stink. They have a strong mildew odor to them, a wash before use should take care of the smell. Otherwise, they seem fine.
