After ironing the layers together, I trimmed the edges then decided to make a little pencil pouch out of the "fabric" I had created.
You can't tell from the picture because I shot it from its good angle, but the pouch is totally lopsided because I failed to make a pattern first or do any measuring first. It's ugly but functional! I only used half of the plastic so I might make something else later too. This took 6 plastic bags from my hoard under the kitchen sink. It's better than having them all end up in a landfill!

That's awesome! I've always wanted to try this. I'll have to check out the article. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is so easy! After my first batch what I would do differently would be to start by fusing two layers, then add one layer at a time until I get to 6 or 8 bags thick. In this first trial I just did 6 bags all at once. I think it would turn out a smoother plastic if I had just added one layer at a time, but that would also take longer.
