"I downloaded this Lunch Box about a month ago and have since made four. I pack a lot of sandwiches for my family and I hated trying to get them to fit in a sandwich bag. WA-LA, the answer to the problem. This is also great for other foods and nothing gets squashed. A perfect, no cost idea!"

"I like this idea but is it sturdy? I will have to try it. I am one of those people who save the toilet paper cardboard rolls. I recycle them with ideas from these very articles. I have the necessary items so there is no reason not to do it. I am always looking for a pen or pencil. This would solve that problem. Thank you."

"What a great idea! My son just returned from Italy with a lot of maps and I think this would be a great gift. You can always use coasters. I agree about the acrylic sealer. Much better than the alternative. Thank you for the idea."

"Good instructions. I have done this before and made shopping bags and mats for the homeless. However the plastic irritates my hands so I don't do it anymore. It really does not take a lot to make something. The best to everyone who can work with the plastic."
