How to Fuse Plastic Bags into a Fabric

Let's give a second life to plastic bags and make future fabric!

Why fuse plastic bags?
The plastic that is fused into fabric is perfect for making things that need to be durable or waterproof. Once the fused plastic bag fabric is made, it can be used to make wallets, lunch sacks, make up bags, sunglasses cases....the list goes on!

What should I use to cut plastic bags for fusing?
For this tutorial, scissors are used to cut the handles and bottom off of the plastic bags. Another method is to use a rotary cutter to cut off the parts that are not wanted.

Some crafters choose to cut off the labels of the plastic bags, but this is not necessary. Simply fold the plastic bag inside out, with the label inside, and the bag is ready for fusing with the label on.

Be sure not to keep the label on the outside as it may melt when ironing.
