Fused Plastic Bags
Okay, I will admit it. I just had to turn the computer on before I went to work this (or yesterday) afternoon, and do a little more browsing. While going through the beautiful handmade products over at Etsy, I got several ideas and set out to learn what I could about them.
I saw a store that sold bags made from recycled plastic bags so I wanted to find out how those were done. I also remembered a comment on a blog post I read about a quilt made from coffee cup sleeves (amazing work). It was about fusing plastic and using that to water-proof the quilt so it can actually be usable. That led me to searching the net for fusing plastic bags.
It appears to be a very simple process. I can do it. I want to do it. But I have no idea what to make. You know, I wouldn’t know what to use the fused plastic fabric for. The different sites showcase various uses for it, but not one thing that I would really want to make for myself or others that I know would be used everyday. Know what I mean? Ahh, me and my ideas. I really should have a partner in crime who is far more creative or artsy than I am. 🙂
If you’re interested, head on to Etsy Labs for the simple tutorial, and you can check out this short video too.

We have tried just about every style of recycling container on the market over the years including a recent pilot of the ClearStreamâ„¢ Recyclers. The ClearStreamâ„¢ Recycler is one of the most effective recycling containers available! It is easily stored, transported, set up and is highly effective at reducing contamination. We want more of them!”
