How to Recycle Plastic Bags into a Laptop Bag

1. Follow Jessie on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ijessup/?hl=en
   And check out her own youtube channel: https://youtu.be/ACFHkcfNnB8

2. Awesome video! I sew with fused plastic bags too. I am going to try this!

3. Looks like leather. Very nice!

4. it needs some painting, genius idea.

5. Thumbs up….neat!!!

6. Simply Brilliant!

7. All the plastic bags that aren’t replaced with reusable ones here are biodegradable and would fall apart. If you used clean veggie bags, (those clear, crimped tube ones), you could layer them with cut shapes of other coloured opaque plastics or even scraps of material, thread, yarn, etc. ooh – glitter!!!!! I gotta go lie down; too many possibilities sounding so good it’s making me dizzy. 💫

8. or you can install Windows server or Ubuntu server and have your own domain for free

9. Don't think I've ever been more excited to try a diy project!!

10. Awesome tutorial! Thank you

11. Below your video are advertisements for brand new plastic bags… just FYI! : /

12. I've been wanting to do this, but a larger tote for groceries. I just haven't found a great way to make the bottom more sturdy. Any suggestions?

13. You know what's great about this??? It's possibly water proof.

14. i think this would be a really good technique to create re-usable grocery bags. would just have to slightly alter the pattern!

15. Cool bag

16. Excellent way to reuse plastic bags! Loved the design! I think I would line the inside of the bag with fabric to add a little more strength and protection to the inside. The only thing I did not like about your video was the annoying "commercial" about Squarespace. I realize that you probably have to do that for them, but I came to this video to get information on how you make laptop bags from plastic bags. I did not need, or want, information about Squarespace, especially while I'm trying to concentrate on what you are doing. Perhaps you could add this "commercial" to the end of your video? It kind of ruined the enjoyment of watching your video.

17. This looks amazing! I do have a few questions however:

    1. Does the plastic give off a smell when you're melting it? I am concerned that I should do that step outside, because it does seem like it would give off fumes, or at least an unpleasant odor that I wouldn't want in the house.

    2. How sturdy is it? Could I make something like a reusable shopping tote with this method that could carry a lot more weight than a laptop bag would?

18. Who uses laptop bags? Like.. backpacks work.

19. This would be great to use as interfacing to give structure to a purse, thanks!

20. When you iron the bags together, how does it change the texture? It looks really cool on camera 😄😄😄

21. Cool idea and nicely executed. A friend of mine is a translator and artist and lives on the Isle of Man. She recycles plastic bags by knitting them together into purses, handbags and bowls. Check out http://www.fraukewatson.im/artist if you like. Greetings from Germany

22. Crazy UGLY!!!!!

23. Would there be any way to dye this?

24. I wonder if you could also put a layer of some sort of patterned plastic on top of the 4 bags so that once you condense everything, it has a specific pattern or design?

25. Video would have been better if 90% were not an ad.

26. Cool look/idea! However, it offers no protection for your laptop 😲 And they're not cheap. This needs a serious PADDING job!

27. Good stuff Jessie!! 👍👍

28. How to make a pool table

29. Very creative! 👍

30. What kind of roller-exacto blade cutter is that? Thanks for sharing the cool video!

31. Plastic bags cost 5p each in the UK now. Do you expect me to spend 50p on materials?! Unsubscribe 😉😂

32. love the vid…very interesting how the plastic takes on the look of leather once it's been sewn…

33. Cool! The platic almost looks like a light color of leather.

34. This is awesome! This would be great for an afternoon project, even for reusable shopping bags! Also, you are really talented with a sewing machine!

35. That's really unique, Jessie! I had no idea you could do this with plastic bags.

36. Very cool! I love how it almost has a leather look to it.

37. This is amazing! It almost looks like leather! I will check your site to see if you sell these.
