Reusable Fused Plastic Grocery Tote

Here is the bag I promised to show everyone. I made it for the Craftster Challenge #20. I still have one more thing to add to it before it is finished (a stencil), but I had to share it. Oh yeah, it's made from plastic Target bags, duct tape adn thread. That's it.

The bag hanging up in all it's glory:

It's pretty roomy. Great for groceries, going to the beach or just a tote for anything really! I think I am going to make another one of these, as I have so many plastic bags to use up.

 

Gorgeous! I tried this the other day, and either my iron sucks, or I suck cuz I couldn't get it to look right. Good job!

 

kewl!

 

It turned out perfectly! Good luck with the craftster challenge....I'll be rooting for ya!

 

that's a great job!

 

Okay here is a new updated pic with the final stencil on it. I got the idea from a new trend that is sweeping the Hollywood crowd. There are these new bags on the market made from organic cotton that are selling for upwards of $400. They say " I AM NOT A PLASTIC BAG".


So here is my version:
