As with all these plastic bag crafts, some places - like Ireland - now use biodegradable plastic bags (which in Ireland you have to buy so that there are not too many of them about) and in about 6 months it will be a heap of little fragments. Not sure how this would affect the fusing process, but be aware!

This is definitely one of the ultimate recycling ideas...maybe we need to tell those folks in the cities who city councils that have banned plastic bags that they should start making real stuff like this from plastic bags.

Interesting concept...I wonder if you could fuse the bags together and make something like a tarp or even a drop cloth for painting?

ahh thanks for this, i always wanted a bag like this ;)

ok, I did this this weekend, and a suggestion: DO IT IN THE BACKYARD. I opened a window, and still coughed for 24 hours. The fumes are silent but deadly. Basically, it seems to me, unless I did it wrong, that it makes tyvek. Very cool. Also, there is a topic on some other craft place where a woman suggests using silk taffeta for the top and bottom layer. Made it very easy to peel off. Just don't breathe.
