Save your plastic bags of all size and colors! Upcycle the plastic that abounds as a leftover in modern life. With a few basic materials; plastic, parchment paper, scissors, and an iron create over 2 dozen projects. After trying two of the projects in the book all kinds of ideas have bubbled up in my head.
I tried this craft with a group of teens. They had a great time. We found that following the techniques to fuse the plastics on pages 12 and 13 helpful.
Blue book bag made from the plastic sleeves that cover the newspaper each day. Even the handles are made from several layers of fused plastic, the sides and bottom are sewn. It's strong and waterproof besides.
One teen designed a bag that will hold a can of soda and ice and doesn't leak. Instead of sewing she fused all the seams--sides and bottom. Viola let your imagination go!
