Recycle old plastic bags into pretty new plastic bags!

A clever little project from Etsy that will turn your collection of plastic bags into crafting gold!

Because throwing out plastic bags fills me with such a deep sense of guilt, I’ve managed to gather an impressive stash. I try to remember to bring my own bags with me to the store, but sometimes it just kind of happens that you wander through a store (ie: Shoppers Drug Mart) and just so happen to leave with a giant basket of stuff you didn’t realize you needed — hence requiring extra bags to carry those very necessary things home in.

Luckily for people like me, Etsy posted this amazing craft that has just become my new favourite! Simply fuse (iron) aprox. six plastic bags in between two sheets of waxed paper, cut desired pattern and sew together! Definitely making either a tote or a bookcover — or both!
