Recycled plastic bags tote
Even if you reuse your plastic bags, chances are you still have far too many lingering in your kitchen cupboards. Bring your bags and we’ll teach you how to transform them into a stylish, water-resistant tote bag or a purse/wallet. Bring as many bags as possible – the thinnest ones work best and you’ll need about 12 to make a tote; less for wallets. Bring coloured bags if you want a coloured end product!
