February 8, 2008

You know all those plastic bags you’ve been saving? Well, there really is something you can do with them. Eclipse has a fantabulous tutorial on how to turn your plastic bags into handy dandy totes. Make a bunch and use them as your new and improved grocery bags. Then you’ll really be a lean, green, shopping machine.

The totes are made of several layers of fused together plastic bags and then sewn together to make a tote. You can also make handles out of the fused together bags. And we also like the idea of braiding sheets of plastic bags together to for the handles.

To make this project, you’ll need…

  • A sewing machine
  • A iron
  • Parchment paper
  • A cutting board
  • Plastic bags
