I'm will all of you that use the corrugated plastic borad from elections compaign signs. But not forget that is the some plastic that is use for beer, cig ad. signs that are in the grocers, convenience stores and they mover them out on a regular bases most of them will just throw them out and you ask at your morning coffee stop on your way to work they will gave them to you. a win, win .it is free for you and dose not go to the land fill.

I went to a store and bought canvas that you would paint on. It comes in all sizes, usually 3 to 5 in a pack, and depending on how you cut them you will have more than enough. Also can pick up painted pictures at garage sales, Goodwills, etc., and cover for purses. They work perfect!

You all have so many great ideas! Sewnoma, I'm having a hard time not making jokes too. I can't believe everybody else is so well behaved.
it's funny that so many of the materials mentioned are already here in our house, and here I thought I'd have to buy something!

Corregated plastic works best. You can cut it to any size and it's inexpensive. (Next political season, gather up old campaign signs. Most of them are made of corregated plastic.) Make a fabric sleeve to match the inside of your bag to cover it

Ace is the place I have my bag bottom cut to side. Approx price per bottom is $2.35 - $2.85. They figure by square inch I believe. I just tell them ie. 3-1/2 x 14. Or whatever size I want. I then make a sleeve for the plastic and Velcro it to the bottom of the bag. Easy to remove if you wash the bag.

I bought a sheet of acrylic that my husband cut for me. I've also used the thin fiber board and plastic template for bottoms. I like whatever I use to be able to stand a machine washing if the person forgets to take it out. I just make a fabric sleeve for it. Works great
