green recycle upcycle repurpose diy tutorial furniture

Tue, March 9th 2010

I’m not a huge fan of displaying logos for corporations, but I do love repurposing of plastic grocery bags - always. This tutorial offers instructions, for the rain bucket hat (pictured above) and the tote. The most interesting part is the fusing of plastic bags - using an iron - to create a substantial material. Think of all the neat things you could make. (via Craftzine)
