Make a Messenger Bag from Plastic Bags | The Vibe - The World According to SocialVibe

POSTED 2 YEARS AGO

Got a few free hours and a few stray plastic bags that you're holding on to for the sake of the environment? Here's a fun little video from Make magazine that will show you how to take those plastic bags and turn them into a cute little messenger bag... just in time for school (or just for the heck of it!)

It looks pretty easy, even for the un-craftiest of us. You will need an iron, wax paper, plastic bags, some buckles & stuff, and access to a sewing machine!

See more weekend projects from Make!
