ok so a lied, this is not a pinterest craft, just a project I've been wanting to try for a whileeee
I'm not sure what I was randomly googling, I think I was trying to find something crafty to do with all the gross plastic bags I have from either the supermarket or shopping, because although I do have loads of those reusable bags, I only have one with me at the grocery store about 1 in every 900 times that I go :-/ and usually I'm using mine as an extra purse to take 5 extra outfit changes with me to work (don't ask). So I stumbled across this weird etsy lab video, but easy to follow.
So I fused away for a while because I do have a project in my mind that I want to do with them but I'm not sure how its going to pan out yet, so I'll re-post on that later. So basically you pull out your ironing board an iron and some parchment paper, open some windows, fold your bag so its about 8 ply, that will make it sturdier if you end up using it to make a bag. Once you have the fused pieces you can sew them together, Im thinking of sewing some together in a cool pattern to make a beach bag, because it will be water proof and If you spill anything in it you can easily clean it.
here are some pics from my fusing process
The yellow bag was a stiff plastic bag from a restaurant, the black one I had gotten from work, turned it inside out to use the solid black, the grocery store ones fuse a lot easier but aren't as durable, if you plan on using the pieces for a bag ide go for shopping bag from stores which tend to use a sturdier plastic
