A portable project bag kit includes a large project bag, a small project bag, and a stand. The large project bag has a pair of carrying handles and a pair of tabs attached near the opening of the large project bag, and a closure mechanism sewn within a top edge of the large project bag. Snaps may also be placed on the large project bag, and configured to snap together and form a base for the large project bag to sit upright. The second project bag also has a closure mechanism sewn within a top edge of the second project bag. The closure mechanism of each project bag is formed of a concave metal and is configured to make the each project bag easy to open and close, and to securely hold contents of the associated project bag when the project bag is turned upside down.
