How do you travel with your Cricut Expression?

[sunnysnowflake]

I am going to my first class with my cricut expression and I am trying to figured out the best way for my expression to travel. I don't have any bags that it fits into.
Any bright ideas from my fellow crafters?
Thanks

I use the Kobalt tool chest from Lowe's for less than $20. There are several photos on this link that show how the Expression fits in the box....perfectly.

(woops...I haven't posted enough to show a link....wait a minute and I will be right back)

Most of the women in my scrapbooking group use this box because it is so durable and such a safe carrier. Those of us who have it, love it. My DH loves the way it is squared and flat for packing....while he is careful, he can pack things on top of it and doesn't have to treat it as if it is in a cloth bag.

sunnysnowflake.....Many of the people in the classes I teach have purchased a tool bag from Lowes or Home Depot to carry their Expression.

If they can handle the tools that are so valuable to a carpenter, then then they certainly can handle the Expression. They are soft sided, but do have cushion for protection. Just be sure to measure to be sure the top zipper opens enough to get the machine in comfortably and situated in the bottom of the bag. Typically there is a velcro strap inside that you can put around the machine so it won't wobble around. Don't crowd the machine with lots of other things or things may get broken. These bags are also meant to carry the weight of tools, so the machine would be no problem.

These bags are typically $20 or less, so they are affordable.

Don't worry about the color since many of them are black. It's the function that counts....color means nothing.
