Kathreen @ TreeHugger has a round up of plastic bag fabric projects, she writes –
Plastic shopping bags are a scourge on the environment. What to do with all those plastic bags that seem to be just hanging around everywhere. One idea that seems to be a hit amongst the DIY and creative arty crowd is to fuse various plastic bags together and make fabric out of them. The basic process is to iron the plastic bags, with a sheet of baking paper between iron and plastic, until two or more sheets fuse together. Sound easy – well in theory it is, but it takes a little practice to get the timing and heat just right…
