Photo Bag

I want to make my own photo bag.Do craft stores sell the durable plastic?

I have a photo bag that I brought from this cool show store in my neighborhood.My bag is tearing after so many months of having it.
The store no longer carries these photo bags.
I really like having a photo bag.I like standing out from the crowd.I don't want a purse like every woman.I want my purse to be different.
I want to buy a regular tote and then just glue some durable clear plastic slot in front and drop one of my photos in.
Do craft stores sell the durable plastic?
What about fabric stores?
I need the durable kind of plastic that is used on bags.You know the same material used to make plastic see thru tote bags.
Where can I get durable see thru plastic.
I am just going to start buying a tote bag and then gluing and stapling a plastic sleeve in the front and back and dropping a photo in.
Photo bags are so hard to come by so I may as well make my own.
Where do I get the durable plastic to make the photo sleeves?

I've made these for magazine covers. What you want is a clear vinyl. Walmart, Hobby Lobby and most fabric stores carry it.

I've always have sewn mine. Not sure how glue will hold up.

The other idea is they have an iron on vinyl you could cover your picture and cut the vinyl a 1/2" larger on all sides. But you would not be able to swap out photos.
